Aquaponics is the combination of aquaculture (raising fish) and hydroponics (cultivating plants in water). One environment for both fish and produce. It is a completely natural and healthy way to raise food without the use of pesticides, fertilizers or other chemicals.
Recirculating and self-sustaining, Aquaponic systems use a fraction of the water than that of traditional farming or gardening methods. Aquaponics is the wave of the future and will revolutionize the agricultural industry!
Bright Future Farms is partnering with PTCC’s Continuing Education and Customized Training Department and will be offering introductory classes on Aquaponics .
