    We would love to have you at the R&D Center. You will learn about the world of hydroponic and aquaponics on a theoretical and practical level. You will have the ability to help create and conduct experiments with new systems with the team. Moti, the owner, and the rest of the team, work hands-on with you to teach all the necessary methods in the field. The team consists of local residents of the area who love to work together with people from around the world and exchange ideas.
