Aquaponics

Revolutionary patent pending invention for on-site food production facilities that scale easily (serving municipalities, institutions or back-yard farms) and provide years of reliable access to a source of low-fat protein and vegetables that can be grown organically.

Although aquaponics (the simplest definition being “the symbiotic cultivation of plants and aquatic animals in a recirculating environment”) has been around in various forms for thousands of years, GreenHouse Aquaponics contain proprietary ways to produce yields that fall well within established production parameters for existing aquaponics systems, but with a much more stable system requiring less intervention and maintenance, featuring much greater environmental sustainability, when compared to competing technology.

Benefits

  • Utilize a non-soil planting medium
  • Eliminate almost entirely the risk of pests and disease
  • Establish year-round productivity for your produce without using a fully climatized enclosure
  • Lessen the need to over-fish our oceans, rivers and lakes
  • Reduce groundwater impact, over-irrigation and discharge of pollutants attributable to in-ground farming.
