Environmental education: Living and experiencing sustainability

Support programme

This project is funded by the "Intensification of Environmental Education in Bavaria" funding programme of the Bavarian State Ministry of the Environment and Consumer Protection as an environmental education project.

Objective

The environmental education project as part of the "Intensification of environmental education in Bavaria" funding programme of the Bavarian State Ministry of the Environment and Consumer Protection uses an aquaponics display in the tropical house of the Hochfranken Zoological Society to demonstrate how aquaponics works. The advantages of aquaponics will be demonstrated to all visitors to Hof Zoo at several events. Aquaponics is a compound word and combines the production of Aqua-culture and hydroponics. Aquaculture supplies fish and hydroponic crops as food for humans.
