Aquaponic training school comes to Malta
Ergonomics covers the best possible layout and setup of different parts of both systems with maximum functionality and productivity in mind. The integration of aquaponics to existing aquaculture facilities will cover the basic design considerations needed when adapting an existing aquaculture system to facilitate plant production.
An overview will be provided of the economics of various aquaculture systems at different scales, and the necessary considerations when preparing business plans and designs. Besides attending lectures, participants will have the chance to see ergonomics in action in the various RAS units of the company. They will also visit one of the hydroponics farms in Malta with an open discussion about farm design, and try to implement the training on site by analysing the existing layout and trying to improve it.
The closing date for applications is 31 July 2017. Further details can be found here.
