The components of our systems

Computer aided regenerative Aquaponics

Hydroponics / Aquaponics
Recirculating water uses 90-99 % less water than traditional farming and can be done in vertical layers anywhere, saving space, water and expanding the bio-capacity. Combining it with aquaculture gives something stronger than hydroponics alone, Aquaponics.
Aquaculture
Fish, shellfish and other aquaculture are a good source of protein and acts as the nutritional engine for our hydroponic section. A growing world population needs protein that does not deplete the world's oceans and lakes.
AI / Machine Learning aided growing
Our operating system META (Mother Earth Technological Aid) helps our growers with all steps in the growing process making growing easy, ensuring consistent yields year round at a minimal environmental cost.

Co-creating a sustainable now for a sustainable future

Climate positive
Sometimes it is ok to be proud. This is such an occasion. We have created a closed loop habitat system that produces all the nutrients it needs on site. That means we do not feed our fish with fish caught in the wild and it also means we are not cutting down the Amazon rain-forest to give room for soy production to feed our fish. Not only do we make sure that our resource efficient processes are run with energy from renewable sources, we made sure they contribute by creating some renewable energy themselves. Oh, and we added a little benefit in our systems ensuring that we actually take CO2 out from the atmosphere and bind it in the ground during our production cycles. They are regenerative. This way we make sure that when using our units or eating our food you contribute to restoring our common habitat and increase the bio-capacity of our Earth. And to enable you to be proud about it too, we will make the data available for you to see exactly how much you are doing for the planet. 

Why regenerative?
Because in this time and age being climate neutral is the same as being indifferent, and braging about climate compensating is just a fancy word for being called out as a polluter and paying the fine and the real cost for pollution. Food is natural, nature is regenerative. And since food production can be regenerative, we can't find a single reason to why not.

Challenges

The food industry poses a serious threat to our world


• Earth has lost 1/3 of its arable land in the last 40 years
• Agriculture claims 70% of all freshwater used
• Freshwater species has decreased 76% from 1970 to 2010
• We require 1.7 Earths to meet our current annual demands
• Population growth creates considerable degrees of additional demand and pressure on arable land resources
• 1/3 of food produced globally for human consumption, (1.3 billion tonnes/year) is lost or wasted
• With yearly 3.3 gigatonnes of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, food loss and waste is the 3rd largest emitter globally
• The global food production accounts for 80% of deforestation and is the single largest driver of biodiversity loss
• More than 800 million people suffer from hunger globally
• At least 9 diseases* have been verified to have its cause from pesticides used in agriculture;
  • Cancer
  • Alzheimer’s disease
  • Diabetes
  • Parkinson’s disease
  • Endocrine disruption
  • Birth defects
  • Asthma
  • Learning and developmental disorders
  • Reproductive and sexual dysfunction​

Solutions

Aquaponics can provide the industry with solutions

• Aquaponics is the use of aquaculture (fish, shellfish etc) as the nutritional engine for growing plant based food = locally produced nutrient
• Circular = No waste
• Suitable for urban farms. In other words, grow where you eat
• Reduces food miles = less CO2 and greenhouse gas emissions
• Can be powered with renewable energy & waste heat
• Does not require soil and can be grown vertically anywhere = expands bio-capacity
• Uses 90 - 99% less water than traditional farming
• Can be used to capture CO2​
• Is pesticide and herbicide free
• Gives healthy vegetables, greens and aquatic protein
• Gives higher yields year round. 3-15 harvests per year
