The Aquaponic Farming Course prepares students to manage and operate an aquaponic farming business. This is an advanced, four-day course. It is strongly recommended course attendees have a solid understanding of basic aquaponic principles: techniques and practices, system types, the nitrification cycle and entry-level aquaponic terminology. Students are encouraged to attend an aquaponics basics class prior to enrolling in the course.
