ew York City Department of Education Chancellor David Banks got a taste of the work being done in the Cornell Hydroponics, Aquaculture and Aquaponics Learning Labs at Food and Finance High School (FFHS) during a visit May 11.
He joined a team of students for a cooking competition, which his team won with a broccoli pesto pasta dish. All the dishes included herbs grown in the learning labs by students in the Cornell University Cooperative Extension Hydroponics, Aquaponics Science and Technology Education Program at the culinary-focused high school.
