In its "Eco Africa" section, the German television channel Deutsche Welle (DW) has published a mini-documentary film on agro-ecological production based on water hyacinth.

DW produced the documentary film as part of a behavioral change initiative for increased water hyacinth use, led by ACED and the American international organization RARE.
