Sakafia Islamic Senior High School's aquaponics initiative has won this year's Zayed Sustainability Prize Global High Schools award.
The prize money of USD 150,000 will support the students in expanding their aquaponics project - a unique farming method where fish and plants are cultivated together in a symbiotic environment, mutually benefiting from each other's presence.
Master Alhassan Adam, one of the students involved in the implementation of the technology at the school based in the Ashanti Region, received the prize from Dr.
Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, at the opening of the United Arab Emirates' Sustainability Week in Abu Dhabi.
