Hydroponics Courses

Study Aquaponics!

Aquaponics is one of the world's most productive food systems in relation to efficiency of water usage. Many aquaponic systems use only around 50% of the water used to produce food by inorganic hydroponics.

Learn about aquaponics and the production of food - fish, crustaceans, vegetables and fruit all in the same farming system.

• It can be small or large.
• It can be a commercial operation to grow and sell.
