Aquaponic Farming 100 hours Statement of Attainment 10 lessons

Combine Fish farming with hydroponics for optimum food production.

In an ideal aquaponic system, the aquatic animals are fed and grow causing nutrient levels to increase in the water. The nutrient rich water is then transferred to the roots of plants. The plants will extract nutrients, lowering the nutrient levels in the water. The water can then be returned to the aquatic animals, and the cycle can start again.
