  1. Aquaponics:Promoting sustainable & organic urban farming for the our future Liholiho STEM RTs

  2. The ability to meet our present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs The Hawai‘i State Plan is not the end, it is a beginning. It is the beginning of us finally taking control of our destiny. It will serve notice that we know what is good for this State, what is proper and what is achievable. (Hawaii Sustainability Plan 2050) SUSTAINABILITY

  3. Sustainable Landscaping

  4. Fish meal • Azola and duckweed • Composting worms • Labor and building materials for construction • Electricity • Water • Fertilizers • Pesticides • Labor to plant and harvest • Labor to wash, pack and deliver Requirements for an Aquaponics System

  5. Creating an aquaponics system that is feasible in any environment.

  6. An aquaponics system design depends on many factors and needs.

  7. Azola & Duckweed are the building blocks of a sustainable system.

  8. Composting illustrates how everythingis used and nothing is wasted.

  9. Raising catfish to create a system within a system.

  10. Raising cabbage from start to finish.

  11. Small scale system Large scale system Aquaponics to fit our needs.

  12. Traditional fishpond Circular pond

  13. Prototype Tomato Greenhouse Upgraded Tomato Greenhouse Design We are constantly looking for more efficient ways to increase our productivity.

  14. Raising tomatoes has involved more than just basic farming knowledge. It has become a STEM learning experience in understanding ratio & proportion, force, gravity, slope, climate control, volume, distance, and structural design. Aquaponics going high-tech
