About The Event

 The workshop delves deeper into the mechanics of Aquaponics & Hydroponics systems, plant, and fish nutrition requirements, water, and nutrient parameters, parameters to achieve commercial success in Hydroponics.

Course attendees will get to visit the farm facility and understand various Hydroponics setups possible in a practical way. You will not go home empty-handed! We will provide you with plenty of how-to materials and a list of resources for future use, a commercial ROI plan for growing in Hydroponics.
