<p class="MsoSubtitle">ISU partnering to host training opportunity on commercial aquaponic production strategies</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">AMES, Iowa Growing interest in climate-smart, sustainable agriculture has helped bring closed-loop systems like aquaponics to prominence. Despite increased interest in aquaponics, expert-led training opportunities that can provide an
in-depth look at commercial aquaponic production strategies are few and far between.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With this in mind, the United States Aquaculture Society, Iowa State University and Kentucky State University have teamed up to host a full-day event titled <a href="https://www.was.org/meetings/pdf/AA2018AquaponicsWorkshop.pdf" target="_blank">Advanced
Aquaponics Workshop</a>: Application for Commercial Production. The workshop will be held on February 18, 2018 at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada in conjunction with the 2018 WAS Aquaculture America Conference.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">An all-star cast of instructors from across the country will deliver a full day of aquaponic wisdom. Prepare to go beyond the what is aquaponics? topics and learn core principles for a successful aquaponics business. This group of world-class
aquaponics experts will cover advanced topics in aquaponics targeted for commercial producers. Participants will have an opportunity to ask questions, receiving real-world advice that will help take their operation to the next level.</p>
