What is it?
Learn how to grow delicious fresh and organic vegetables in symbiosis with fish. Aquaponics is an innovative technique of integrated cultivation of plants and fish. While the fish naturally fertilise the water, the aromatic, leafy or fruit plants extract these natural nutrients and grow healthily. It is the replication of a natural ecosystem in the service of a circular, more sustainable and healthy food production format.
Where and when?
The training will take place in person on May 13 and 14 at the following location:
AQUAPONICS IBERIA
Ecocampus Pólo 2
Rua da Estr. Militar – Escola Básica de Casal de Barbas, Turcifal – Torres Vedras

Goals
The aim of this Introduction to Aquaponics workshop is to provide participants with knowledge about the main aquaponics techniques and methodologies, maintenance and production, getting the best out of this modern and sustainable food production system that combines aquaculture and agricultural techniques.
