The Aquaponics project at the Amún Shéa Center for Integrated Development, in Perquín, Morazán is turning out bumper crops! By bumper crops we mean both in the traditional sense of vegetable production, as well as in the preparation of students with the knowledge and ability to manage greenhouse production of vegetables.
Tomatoes are looking very good in Greenhouse #2, where our Ag-Business students are employing a uni-crop method, meaning tomatos and nothing else. This requires a good marketing and distribution plan as well, given that soon we will be flooded with tomatoes.
The younger students continue to learn in Greenhouse #1, which hosts a wide variety of vegetables and kitchen herbs. Each groups of students is responsible for a work area and the plant species in that area. In this way, they follow through the entire life cycle of the plant, right up to preparing and eating it.
We appreciate your support for this very important bumper crop on the way and will continue to keep you informed as the tomatoes ripen and the students blossom. Thank you!
