Introduction
Innovative agricultural solutions use integrated organic farming systems that combine vermiculture, aquaponics and small livestock to provide higher yield with fewer resources. The system only needs 10% of the water normally used for gardening, making it possible to farm even during extreme drought..
Report
Our local chef has requested a focus on cabbage and carrots is key ingredients needed for the community. So children have been tasked with planting seeds and growing these ingredients in the community gardens. Vermi aquaponics has also been built into the curriculum for the grade 4 class and they have been tasked with setting up their own miniature aquaponics system in the classroom. We need to raise an additional $3000 inorder to employ a groundsman for the year to manage gardens and maintenance a this wonderful little community school.
