Sarah and Didier started Reina Mana Aquaponics in August 2022 with the aim of generating self-subsistence, self-determination, and power in the food system with BIPOC and low-income communities. Aside from growing food, they are working on designing more affordable and creative aquaponics models that can be easily replicated for low-income, BIPOC, elderly, youth, and disabled communities. Didier and Sarah will use the funding to improve and expand their operation so they can grow more vegetables, fruits, and fish.
