Creating Aquaponics Experiences for Families at AGRIKO FARM PW Sakurashinmachi

In the bustling town of Sakurashinmachi, Tokyo, AGRIKO Co., Ltd. has partnered with Premium Water to host a unique SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) event designed for families. This initiative took place at the AGRIKO FARM PW, a sustainable rooftop farm that integrates aquaponics—a method combining fish farming and hydroponics.

AGRIKO, which operates this innovative farm, is committed to addressing all 17 SDGs. The event on August 2, 2025, attracted families eager to learn about the bonds between agriculture, water, and life itself through hands-on activities.

At the event, attendees first engaged in educational sessions covering the principles of SDGs and aquaponics. Following this, the families participated in a free research project where they utilized fish and vegetables grown at AGRIKO FARM to create their own aquaponics systems. This interactive experience allowed participants to actively learn about sustainability through the senses, making for an exciting day.

Participant Feedback

During the event, children expressed their enjoyment, stating, “It was fun to catch the fish and pick the leaves to build our aquaponics system!” Their enthusiasm highlighted the importance of hands-on interaction with living things and the satisfaction derived from constructing the equipment themselves. Parents echoed this sentiment, sharing their appreciation for the unique learning experience. One parent mentioned, “Opportunities to engage with aquaponics are rare. This event allowed my child to learn about SDGs, environmental sustainability, and water resources in a meaningful way, proving to be an invaluable experience.”
