DOHA 21 November 2023 — Philippine Ambassador to the State of Qatar H.E. Lillibeth V. Pono visited a hydroponics garden owned and managed by Mr. Jeacim Adaya, a Filipino national, on 17 November 2023.

Hydroponics is a horticultural innovation that allows for high yields of agricultural crops with limited space and without use of soil. This technique is suitable in urban spaces and other places with challenging environmental conditions.

Mr. Adaya regularly conducts workshops to individuals and different institutions to raise awareness on the benefits of hydroponics farming, including its potential as a solution to address some of the world’s pressing challenges, such as food insecurity and loss of arable land.
