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

2. SUSTAINABILITY 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)

3. Sustainable Landscaping

4. Requirements for an Aquaponics System 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

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 everything is used and nothing is wasted.

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

10. Raising cabbage from start to finish.
