Sustainable Agriculture: Conserving California’s Resources and Biodiversity
Why Agriculture Matters In San Diego
The Next Generation of Environmentalists
The path to sustainability starts with educating our planet’s future keepers. We provide young environmentalists, scientists, and leaders with the tools they need to think creatively and make informed decisions for positive economic, cultural, and ecological change.
Our Aquaponics Innovation Center
The Aquaponics Innovation Center serves as a state-of-the-art research facility where people can see a demonstration of truly efficient aquaponics in action. We donate the nutrient-dense vegetables we grow to local people in need.

San Diego’s Community
food insecurity
1 in 7 San Diego residents live in food-insecure households. According to a 2016 study by the SD Hunger Coalition, nearly a third of these 486,000 individuals are children.
Community Empowerment
We provide communities with the education, job training, and resources they need to become self-sufficient in the way they grow and access food.
Our Impact To Date
With over 1,000 ECO-Cycle Aquaponics Kits donated to schools across the country, thousands of students are experiencing the wonder of nature from within their classrooms. Each classroom, now a project-based laboratory, offers daily insight into real-world applications of STEM concepts and provides valuable life skills to students of all ages and backgrounds.
