Luvo Gugwana grew up on a farm in South Africa, so it was only a matter of time before he turned his passion for farming into a career.
Gugwana, who studied medical orthotics and prosthetics at the Durban University of Technology, is now the founder of Green Arch Innovations, which focuses on the use of aquaponicsa system in which water flows from one crop to the next, explains the farmersweekly.co.za.
In fact, it's a "tried-and-true method of sustainable farming," says Gugwana, who has been using the system on his own farm for the past two years.
He says it's cost-effective, easy to set up, and produces more food than traditional farming.
In fact, he says it's so reliable that he's even sold his first crop ofbokke, a popular South African celery.
Gugwana is now looking to expand the system to other countries.
