Agriculture Biotechnology Laboratory Program
农业生物技术实验室项目(Agriculture Biotechnology Laboratory Program)
The Agriculture Biotechnology Laboratory is a green roof project located on the roof of the camp’s cafeteria. It has been designed as a nationwide replicable resource for STEM Education for K-12 institutions. Everything in this lab is based on soilless technologies: soilless substrates, hydroponics, aeroponics, aquaculture, and aquaponics.
The idea came after a recent University of Puerto Rico study revealed that PR is importing over 85% of its fresh foods which travel anywhere from 1,287 miles (5 days travel time) up to 10,627 miles (29 days travel time), not considering the time from harvest, maintaining Puerto Rico’s food security at risk. Also, an additional concern is not whether Puerto Rico has the ability to have access to adequate amounts of food, but if Puerto Rico is having access to nutritional foods since there is a correlation between distance and time of harvest with the loss of nutritional value of fresh foods grown far away and time spent in its transportation.
波多黎各大学的一份研究显示,在这个国家总共有85%的新鲜食物需要从很远的地方进口,这些食品需要在海上运输1287-10627英里的距离,需要5-29天的时间。这还不包括收购所花费的时间,这样就让这个国家的食品安全产生了严重隐患。因此,人们产生了建立这个示范实验室的主意。另外人们还有一个担心,不是担心将来有一天波多黎各可能无法获得足够的食品,而是担心波多黎各能否获得有营养的食品。因为食品的收购时间和距离与这些新鲜食品的营养价值之间是有联系的。在很远的地方生产的食品加上长时间的运输后会造成其营养价值的降低。
The lab allows an integration to the school’s summer camps, Camp Mabo/
Sound of Music, in order to enhance knowledge of issues related to Puerto Rico’s
Global Food Security, Climate Change and Childhood Obesity through a nutrition and fitness program at camp. Campers also learn the basic concepts of soilless technologies under a perfect scenario for hands on, real life experiences in a living laboratory.
这个实验室能够整合进学校的夏令营,也就是MABO夏令营/音乐之声的活动里,通过一个以营养和健康为主题的营地项目,以便大家能够增强关于波多黎各的普遍性食品安全、气候变化和儿童肥胖症方面的知识。参加夏令营的学生还可以学习基本的关于无土培养的技术,而且整个过程都是在一个生机盎然的屋顶实验室亲自动手操作。
我叫 郑永康,我们来旅馆夏令营学习,我们路过那两个小池塘,它们现在要被改造成溜冰场,以前我还在这里钓鱼。现在不能钓了,几年的回忆,多么的美好,现在全都被破坏了,我非常的伤心。到王家祠堂的时候,我进去开始学习,上午我们学习英语单词,我们用讲故事的方法来记单词,这样记就会又快又正确,有几个单词是我们要死记硬背的,那就是my.中文意思是我的,还有一个是your.中文意思是你的,如果没有背出来,就要读五遍,一定要是正确的,还有一个句子就是you are welcome.这就代表着不用谢。 我非常喜欢写日记,可是不喜欢记单词,这件事情让我手忙脚乱,而且又很麻烦。所以我不喜欢记单词,中午,下课了,我们做了一个非常愚蠢的事情,老师说过不能到那个河岸去玩,昨天我就骑单车去了,今天我又没听,跑到了零食店,去买了一点点吃的,我们觉得很满足,就回家了,回家之后,老师非常着急,我们心里也不知道为什么?
