A high-tech new growing system has been officially unveiled in TÅ«rangi this week, and its owners plan to supply locals with fresh, healthy food.
The aquaponics system at the Tongariro National Trout Centre has been installed as an educational tool to teach the community about topics ranging from sustainability to life cycles.
This week, the centre held its first aquaponics workshop, teaching members of the public how to plan and maintain systems in different settings.
