Aquaponics is a sustainable food production system that combines the cultivation of vegetables and fish. It is one of the best ways to produce food in the city, because it hardly takes up any space and a water efficient method of produce. As the fish excrement feeds the plants, and the plants clean the water for the fish, not a drop of water is wasted. In the workshop Building Aquaponics System, participants will learn how to build a miniponics system, a miniature, home-edition of the bigger aquaponics towers.
As a workshop assistant, your role is to make sure all the materials are there and order missing materials. You don't need to be here during the workshop!
This workshop is usually assisted by the Aquaponics intern.
Here is some information about ticketing when you are a workshop assistant.
NOTE: The materials list is made for 3 miniponic systems (+ one spare). A team of 3-4 people build one system. First check what is in store, and then order the missing materials.
