Excerpt:
Using aquaponics — a method of farming that uses water from fish tanks to irrigate plants — this couple that calls themselves urban farmers, grows around 15,000 plants at their home’s rooftop. “We have a big cool panel at the entrance to our home and green house, which has water trickling through it. An exhaust fan pulls in the air, which is cleaned and naturally filtered by removing the pollutants and is also cooled. This air circulates through the green house, where the plants oxygenate it, and thus the then clean oxygenated air with PM 2.5=5 and PM 10=10 flows through our house,” informs Singh (80), a PhD in Topology in Mathematics from Delhi University’s St Stephen’s College. He adds, “Air quality can be improved in an economical way, and not just large homes but even in flats or a small house you can have a balcony model to grow at least 500 plants and filter the air that enters your home.”
A flashback to their life reveals how their journey towards a sustainable future began when Kaur was diagnosed with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (a type of blood cancer) in 1998. “Eventually after a bone marrow transplant in the UK in 2009, I was cured of the CLL but upon coming back to Delhi in 2010, my lungs got impacted even though Delhi air wasn’t so bad then,” recalls 70-year-old Kaur. Her grit to defeat the disease and loving support of her husband is till date helping her to nurture not just the plants but even their “passion for growing the food we eat”.
