11、calfarmwhichneedsnosoiltogrowplants”可知在垂直農(nóng)場(chǎng)不需要用土壤來種植植物,可以用水培的方法。B“CanIhugyou?”communitynurseJoyceJebambulaaskswithasmileasshewelcomesmebacktohervillage.“Ofcourse,”IsayasIputmyarmsaroundher.Itsanunbelievablemoment.Justattheheightoftheoutbreakmorethanayearago,therewasan“avoidbodycontact”rulehere.Itsno
