Description
The commercialisation of food production has led to vegetables and fish not reaching their maximum nutritional potential before they are harvested. Pesticides and other carcinogens are often used in their production and foods can travel long distances before reaching our plates. We can avoid this by growing our own, but with busy, modern lives it can be difficult to find the time to nurture our own foods to ensure our meals are fresh, nutrient-rich and chemical-free.
Aquaponics is a simple, self-sustainable ecosystem composed of fish, bacteria and plants that allows you to grow healthy, nutritious food in your own backyard without a huge investment of time. The Introduction to Aquaponics Diploma Course explains how.
The Introduction to Aquaponics Diploma Course explains the history and difference between aquaculture, hydroponics and aquaponics, and helps you to understand what your aquaponics will be – a relaxing hobby or a food oasis in your backyard.
You’ll learn of the importance of water quality and how to keep your fish and vegetables alive and healthy within an aquaponics system – knowing what to test, what to look for and how to identify any imbalances that occur with the changing climate.
You’ll be guided through the components needed to build a system, how to stock your fish, prevent disease, and let the symbiotic relationship bloom as you grow healthy, nutritious food in your backyard.

- Become familiar with the difference between aquaculture, hydroponics and aquaponics
- Understand the importance of water quality within an aquaponics system
