Aquaponic farming. Have you ever heard of it before? It’s pretty cool. It’s a way of growing crops without soil. The plants are kept on a growing bed that is connected to a large fish tank, and water flows through both units.

Besides creating an awesome ecosystem for the plants and the fish, aquaponic farming also uses less water than traditional farming....
