Our Training Programs
The Residential Programs can be scheduled on a weekly basis Monday through Friday. If required, housing and board can be provided on site. Morning classes focus on in-classroom seminars and lectures on the fundamentals of aquaponics and the specific needs of tilapia and aquaponically grown plants, while afternoons are spend working on existing systems, or building new systems, focusing on the importance of hands on experience, and the importance of vigilance and maintenance in fish farming. We also offer supplemental information on, solar energy, photovoltaic and wind powered systems as well as more traditional aquaculture methods. Most importantly we offer a “hands on” experience working with fish and vegetables in working systems, where you can get your hands wet and help us with our day to day chores and activities while learning what it is really like to be an aquaponic farmer.
Our Offerings
We offer short term courses in aquaculture and aquaponics. These courses are designed to teach basic knowledge and the methods of successfully growing tilapia and aquaponics plants. Our focus is on simple, sustainable techniques that can be used by the back yard farmer, missionary, Peace Corps worker or any others who wish to help improve the nutrition of the poor and needy
