Dear All, Some Chicago parents will be donating small aquaponics demos to their childrens' schools, for science, skills, and Spirit.
http://www.milwaukeerenaissance.com/EarthRenaissance/HomePage *Parent Financed Food Sovereignty School Innovations* In my intuition, it is not really so much the dollar cost of urban ag demos, but the cultural, social, and vital spirit capital required for innovations in our schools...or any of our institutions. The Milwaukee Public Schools(MPS) recently received about $100k for aquaponics teacher training, curriculum, and small systems. MPS and Chicago Public Schools will soon be able to provide other cities with guidelines for aquaponics systems incorporation into STEM and ecological studies instruction. I am hoping to connect with ecopreneurs in other cities to inspire the diffusion of digitally enhanced and connected aquaponics experiments, but also with experiments in something as simple as a red cherry tomato plant in the corner of a science lab. Why not? Godsil -- James J.
