US (NM): Spirulina, aquaponics offered at Santa Fe Community College

Santa Fe Community College’s Training Center Corporation and Apogee Spirulina host Artisan Spirulina Immersion Week with Intro to Aquaponics, July 31 through Aug. 4 at 6401 Richards Ave. The five-day course is the first of its kind, a combination spirulina and aquaponics course. Spirulina is a type of blue-green algae rich in protein, vitamins, minerals, carotenoids and antioxidants that is used as a food or nutritional supplement. Students will get four days of hands-on artisan spirulina farming, learning the French cultivation method, an introduction to aquaponics, as well as discussions that will provide students with real-life experience in what it takes to build and maintain a facility.

Registration is underway. The $1,600 fee includes training and materials, including a spirulina starter culture kit, four breakfasts and five lunches.

Students will leave with a certificate of completion, an expansive flash drive with pertinent references, a list of preferred vendors and a complete starter kit for their own spirulina production once they return home. Each day will consist of a half day of field work and a half day of lecture.
