Aquafarm Tour & Farmers' Market

Interns toured the New Roots Aquafarm site to see how Tilapia fish are farmed through an aquaponics system. They also learned about different hydroponics growing systems.


 Interns also visited the City Heights Farmers' Market to meet local farmers and get to know the local food system a bit more closely. They conducted surveys on where the farms are located, how far the food had to travel to get to the market, who the farmers were, how it was grown, and what was in season.


 Surveys.
