Aquaponics provides both vegetables and protein, and it is not restricted to just fish. Other aquatic species can be cultured in the system such as shrimp/crayfish and mussels/clams.

Aquaponic systems can be made resilient to poor growing conditions through environmental controls, enabling year-round production, and it is drought and flood tolerant.

Aquaponics farms require no arable land so they are ideal for what would otherwise be food deserts such as empty commercial and industrial property or unused parking lots.

Too many smaller commercial farmers rightly complain about overlong working hours and minimal returns. Aquaponics can change this. Our system is operable by one or more people working a combined 40 hours per week or less (not including sales and admin) and can yield an excellent farm income. The system also incorporates the capacity to use the created fertilizer to supplement land-based crops or orchards.

Good aquaponic systems incorporate principles of permaculture: efficient use of resources, reduction/elimination of wastes, positive environmental impact, and more.

The rewards of working with an ecosystem are great. Nurturing young plants and caring for your fish, working in the sheltered outdoors, providing food for your community, and attending farmers markets are all fun and rewarding!
