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.
