Description
Aquaponic Farm System Design Course Syllabus
The Aquaponic System Design class is part of the Flourish Farm Aquaponic Online Course.It is highly recommended that you take the aquaponic components online course prior to the system design class so you have a solid understanding of the major components that are used in the design class.The class will build on the components course and dive into the key variables and relationships that determine how the fish, plants, filtration, plumbing and aeration systems connect together to create a fully functioning aquaponic farm system.The class primarily focuses on the deep water culture growing method and will design a system in a 30 x 96 greenhouse space.At the end of the course you have a full system design with production metrics and you will know how to design a system at different scales by following the core principles reviewed in the course.
