The Northern Marianas College Cooperative Research, Extension and Education Service (NMC-CREES), the Department of Lands and Natural Resources, and the Commonwealth Development Authority are sponsoring the first 2001 Hydroponics Workshop.<\/p>\n
Hydroponics is a form of agriculture that involves growing without the use of soil, or simply put, soil-less farming.<\/p>\n
The benefits of a hydroponics system are: the ability to control the environment that plants are growing in; improved efficiency for higher yields; and it is an excellent method for the limited space farming conditions in the CNMI.<\/p>\n
A certified U.S. Hydroponics specialist will train the workshop participants in everything one needs to know about hydroponics.<\/p>\n
For example: 1) the basic principles of hydroponics and operation of a hydroponics system; 2) how to start up your own hydroponics system; 3) the general business opportunities involved using hydroponics; 4) the numerous benefits of hydroponics, and many more.<\/p>\n
The workshop is open to the general public and to anyone interested in starting a hydroponics business. In order to have the workshop, there must be a minimum number of registered participants. The workshop schedule will be determined in February. Registration will take place from Jan. 15 to Jan. 19.<\/p>\n
