Foods From S.O.I.L.

“Growing your own food is like printing your own money” – Ron Finley

In times of increasing climate change, where wild fires blaze across crops and water vanishes into shortages, water and energy conservation becomes increasingly important around the globe. The way world economy is going, seasonality of produce will become more pronounced and some foods will not be available year round anymore. Through greenhouse cultivation and indoor aquaculture concepts we can help you to get ready! You won’t have to face a shortage of foods. Indoor growing is not reliant on season but on the efficiency of the space and energy used.

Indoor – Aquaculture and Wicking Beds For Year Round Harvesting:

“Water is a precious commodity in developing nations, and because the majority of the water used is recycled through in an aquaponics system, significantly less water is consumed than in traditional farming,” – Tony Abuta, Founder of Amsha

Aquaponics (/ˈækwəˈpɒnɪks/) may be the solution! It refers to any system that combines conventional aquaculture (raising aquatic animals such as snails, fish, crayfish or prawns in tanks) with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water) in a symbiotic environment. In an aquaponic system, water from an aquaculture system is fed to a hydroponic system where the waste by-products are broken down by nitrifying bacteria initially into nitrites and subsequently into nitrates that are utilized by the plants as nutrients. Then, the water is recirculated back to the aquaculture system.

Aztec cultivated agricultural islands known as chinampas in a system considered by some to be an early form of aquaponics for agricultural use; The whole of Southeast Asia, where rice is cultivated and farmed in paddy fields in combination with fish, are cited as examples of early aquaponics systems dating back to 5AD in Asia; And The 13th century Chinese agricultural manual Wang Zhen’s Book on Farming (王禎農書) described floating wooden rafts which were piled with mud and dirt and which were used for growing rice, wild rice, and fodder. – Source Wikipedia

Fish grow their own food, so the system is self-supporting. It could improve people in developing countries’ lives by increasing food security, employment opportunities and economic growth.” – Ken Konschel, Aquaponics Africa.

“Small-scale aquaculture requires low-cost labor and doesn’t require much investment and effort once the ponds have been set up.’ —Patrick Dugan

Aquacultures are ideal for rain garden set up and to extend water collection systems, they produce natural fertilizers for your garden beds and attract local wildlife like Dragon flies, turtles or Frogs to your garden, improving the nature of your ecosystem.

We can design your water reservoir and filter system, build the infrastructure needed and install plant and water life to supplement each other in symbiosis, supporting your entire garden.
