Aquaponic Technology Education as an Effort to Increase Environmental Literacy

Abstract

The Community Service Program (PKM) aims to improve environmental literacy through aquaponic technology education as an integrated aquaculture system that is environmentally friendly. The activity was carried out by the method of lectures and interactive discussions to participants consisting of the community and students. The material included basic concepts of aquaponics, nutrient cycle principles, ecological benefits, and its potential application on a household scale. The results of the activity showed an increase in participants' understanding of the relationship between fish farming activities, plants, and environmental sustainability. This program contributes to fostering environmental awareness and encouraging the application of sustainable fisheries technology in the community.
