Mitigating Climate Change by Engaging Youth in Increasing Food Security Using Aquaponics Technology .
This project proposes to use Aquaponics as a teaching system at a school for students who have not performed well in the formal school system and those who have been labelled young delinquents by the criminal justice system. The project objectives are to: (i) to design and establish a sustainable Aquaponics system as a teaching and viable production unit; (ii) integrate Aquaponics into the formal curriculum as part of the vocational training in climate smart agriculture and to support at least six independent units for graduates; (iii) design and implement a marketing plan which will ensure the financial viability of the system; (iv) establish an effective Monitoring and evaluation system which will continue as part of the learning process for the grantee and students; and (vi) design and implement a community Awareness and education programme which promotes climate smart agriculture.
