Kes established an airponics bay on Voyager, along with a hydroponics bay. (VOY: "Elogium", "Cold Fire")
In 2372, the yields from Voyager's hydroponics lab were coming out low. (VOY: "Deadlock")
In 2375 Ensign Doug Bronowski worked in Voyager's airponics bay. (VOY: "Someone to Watch Over Me")
- It is likely Bronowski took over Kes's operation after she left in 2374.
