Short Description
This project created gardens as living learning classrooms. It includes different sustainable production systems such as soil gardens, hydroponic cultivation, and aquaponic systems, allowing students to understand different forms of food production. In the aquaponic system, students learn how fish generate nutrients that feed plants, while plants help clean the water, thus understanding the natural cycles and interdependence of ecosystems. Students carry out irrigation activities, growth monitoring, data recording, scientific observation... In addition, sustainable practices such as cutting down water use through drip irrigation, resource reuse, composting, and healthy food production are promoted.
