The American Farm School, located in Thessaloniki Greece, is interested in investigating the potential of aquaponics. This project aimed to investigate the possibilities of integrating aquaponics within the school’s educational and research curricula. Utilizing a human centered design type ap- proach, the interests of different stakeholders were examined to guide design cri- teria for aquaponics systems that met the needs of the American Farm School and Perrotis College.
