From theory lessons to field experience on high-tech sustainable farming, learn about the science of aquaculture and agriculture, as well as geographical concepts. Students engage in hands-on farming activities so they can grow their own produce and even formulate potential solutions for resolving the global food supply crisis through application of their newfound knowledge. In the final session, a Young Farmers' Market will be organised for students to sell their organic produce to fellow schoolmates, faculty and school vendors.
