  "account": "Delhi is grappling with severe air pollution, yet one Sainik Farms residence has become a model of clean air. Peter Singh, an 81-year-old urban farmer and Neeno Kaur, a 72-year-old cancer survivor, have transformed their home into a green oasis boasting around 15,000 plants. Their innovative system uses aquaponics, combining fish farming with soil-free plant cultivation. Water from four large fish tanks circulates nutrients to plants, which filter the water before it returns to the tanks. The couple manages to grow vegetables, maize, and herbs, and recycle kitchen waste into organic fertilizer. Rainwater and greywater harvesting further reduce water wastage. Despite Delhi-NCR's worsening air quality, their AQI remains around 10-15. With their expertise in aquaponics, organic farming, and sustainable living, the couple hopes to inspire others to adopt eco-friendly practices.",
