Women’s Environmental Institute Down to Earth Education Program Course
Learn how to grow fish and greens together to provide fresh organic greens and uncontaminated protein from fish with aquaponic farming.
This 7-month course will give participants the foundational knowledge needed to build a functioning aquaponic unit and manage the system through the life of the fish. This course will use Yellow Perch in a hoophouse at Women's Environmental Institute's Amador Hill Farm as the class lab.
