Around the world we see historic opportunities to rethink, reshape and rebuild how local food is produced, while improving local economies. Today’s food supply is dependent on petroleum. Food prices will increase as oil becomes more scarce. This reality is driving global interest in aquaponics.
AquaPlanet is about finding the right fit.
Our approach is scalable, using a simple system with potential to transform agriculture, worldwide. Scalable means low capital and operational costs. A small system can be scaled up to many acres, with low risk, low capital expense and a rapid return on investment.
Our approach is unique, following the method of our associate Dr. Mark McMurtry, who pioneered the research and development of ebb-and-flow systems at NC State University. We share our numbers.
We are designers and scientists. We work with communities and businesses to create new solutions. The process is just beginning.
The Aquaponics Guidebook has helped thousands of people around the world get the straight story on the future of food. London’s Ecologist magazine calls it “The ultimate inspiration for anyone inspired by the idea of producing vegetables and raising fish…in a sustainable way.”
Products & Projects
SunFish Greenhouse System – Partnering with solar companies to link solar heat and power with local food. Please inquire about puchasing a SunFish system.
Fish Garden – A partnership with Shanghai’s Sage Vision to develop a public demonstration / education program, scalable for cities around the world, starting in Martin Luther King’s historic neighborhood. We promote the work of our friends at Truly Living Well ( www.trulylivingwell.com)
Commercial Aquaponics – A range of corporate organic growers are preparing to scale up their local food options with scalable aquaponics.
Hult MBA Project – An international team of MBA students is conducting a market study of local crops in the Shanghai metro area. The numbers will indicate potential demand and opportunities for investment.
CitiQuaria – Modular system of acrylic, wood and metal for patios, scalable to exhibit size. This concept bridges the aquarium and home vegetable grower end user.
Solar Technology Convergence – Working with solar companies to link solar power directly with food production. Solar power in agricultural applications has been limited. Yet a production system like aquaponics opens new possibilities for solar, to run pumps, aerators, fans and to provide heat.
