REAL HARVEST FROM AQUAPONICS SYSTEM- DECEMBER 2024
WHAT IS AQUAPONICS?
Aquaponics is growing crops in water, and using fish waste as fertilizer, while growing/ reproducing those fish for food as well.
Did you know that 80% of California's water goes to agriculture?
As a drought-prone state, that's an outstanding statistic that many citizens are unaware of.
WHAT DO WE DO?
While that statistic may seem alarming, a large amount of water can be preserved through sustainable agriculture techniques, such as aquaponics. Recirculating aquaponics systems can save up to 90% more water as opposed to traditional soil-based agriculture. By practicing aquaponics, we are innovating new ways to provide food for our growing population, while saving water (and space!).
What we do in the Innovation Lab is try a wide variety of different crops, and growing methods, with our Bluegill fueling our crops. Our most commonly favorited crops by staff and students has been our blue-leaf kale, butter lettuce, and green onions.
