Implementando a prática
1. I save water that runs off during rainy seasons into a dam that I dug to reduce on flooding and soil erosion. The saved water is then filtered before it is released to the fish ponds.
2. I use organic feeds to feed the fish. A combination of food wastes and crop residues is used to feed them. The fish pond water is also used on crops farms to boost the soil health. This I do when cleaning the ponds.
3. Through the sales of my fish, I get to earn some good income locally and it also provides my household with food.
