About this resource
Learn about the nutrient flow in an aquaponics farm and how aquaponics can provide fresh food and food security to urban communities. This video features urban farmer Yemi Amu and the science of her sustainable aquaponics farm in New York City.
Through engagement prompts and activities, students will explore the species interactions that make aquaponics systems function, use that knowledge to design an aquaponics system of their own, as well as discuss potential impacts of installing multiple aquaponics farms in major cities.
