*Taught by David Rosenstein, Chair of the Aquaponics Association, and 
Founder ofEvo Farm

Los Angeles, California*

We are excited to be offering this in-depth 3-day course on aquaponics 
through a permaculture lens. The course promises to empower students to 
build their own aquaponic systems at their homes and in their 
communities, and is appropriate for anyone interested in aquaponics.

Time will be split between the classroom and our new earthen greenhouse. 
In the classroom we will delve into answering, “Why aquaponics?” We will 
gain insight into the science and technical aspects of aquaponics, and 
see aquaponic production through a Permaculture lens: design, 
biomimicry, patterns, integration. We will then move on to hands-on time 
in the greenhouse with specific aquaponic techniques including IBC tote 
tanks and media beds, deep water culture and nutrient film technique. 
Students will learn which techniques are right for their situation and 
see methods of integrating other systems such as mushrooms, worms, 
insectaries, and compost-tea brewing.
