• TGE Aquaponics System

  Housed at The Growing Experience Urban Farm, within the Housing Authority's Carmelitos Public Housing Development, the  Aquaponics and Vertical Towers Growing System process involves raising fish and leafy greens in a closed-loop system, in which liquid fish waste provides nutrients for plants growing in vertical towers. The Aquaponics and Vertical Towers Growing System maximizes use of vertical space, and provides training opportunities for youth and young adults in after-school and summer programs.
