AQUAPONICS
Aquaponics is the combination of
aquaculture (raising fish) and
hydroponics (soil-less of growing plants)
that grow fish and plants together in one
integrated system. It can also be define
as a symbiotic relationship between
plants and fishes.
Aquaponics can be useful to save
spaces especially on urban places,
where land is limited. It is also eco-
friendly because there is no waste,
everything is reused through organic
and natural way. It also requires low
cost, less resources and easy to
maintain so you can apply it on home,
schools or even on commercial
establishments. Aquaponics is an ideal
way to provide fresh and nutritious foods
to your family.
GRAFTING TECHNOLOGY
Grafting is a natural or deliberate fusion
of plant parts to establish vascular
continuity and functions as a single
plant. The term scion refers to the shoot
piece or bud cut from a donor plant that
will grow to the upper portion of grafted
plant.
Grafting technology can reduce the
incidents of plants disease thus
increasing potential yields. With reduce
plants disease, farmers can reduce their
amount of pesticides and may be more
likely to able to grow organically.
Entrepreneur can specialize in the
production of grafted vegetable seedling
earning income while selling improved
seedling to farmers.

The project aims to revitalize the paper
industry S&T intervention utilizing abaca
to improve properties of paper from low-
grade cycled paper as reinforcement as
well as develop abaca pulp-based
currency base paper, tea bags and filter
paper.
The Philippine abaca plays a vital role
for our environmental protection and
forest conservation. Manufacturing
through natural and bio-degradable like
abaca is a good interest and
acceptability. Pulp and paper industries
will post strong demand for abaca pulp
over wood pulp because of its durability
and recyclability. FRUIT BAT CONSERVATION
Bats have a dynamic ecological role in
maintaining our tropical lowland forests,
but their survival is threatened due to
habitat loss and forest and
fragmentation. This project involves
generating more knowledge on fruit
bats, resulting to the development of
science base solutions and strategies
on how to better manage this biological
resources and ultimately their
conservation.
Bats play an important role in many
environments around the world. Some
plants depend partly or wholly on bats to
pollinate flowers or spread their seeds,
while other bats also help control pests
by eating insects.
