À propos de cet e-book
“The essential guide for people serious about setting up a commercial, cold-water aquaponic system.” —Dr. Daniel Baker, Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture, Vancouver Island University
Profitable cold-water fish and vegetable production. Join the aquaponic farming revolution!
Built around a proven 120’ greenhouse system operable by one person, The Aquaponic Farmer is the game changer that distills vast experience and complete step-by-step guidance for starting and running a cold-water aquaponic farming business—raising fish and vegetables together commercially. Coverage includes:
As the only comprehensive commercial cold-water resource, The Aquaponic Farmer is essential for farmers contemplating the aquaponics market, aquaponic gardeners looking to go commercial, and anyone focused on high quality food production.
Aquaponic farming is the most promising innovation for a sustainable, profitable, localized food system. Until now, systems have largely focused on warm-water fish such as tilapia. A lack of reliable information for raising fish and vegetables in the cool climates of North America and Europe has been a major stumbling block. The Aquaponic Farmer is the toolkit you need.
“Provides almost a step by step cookbook on all pertinent aspects of aquaponics and is based upon the authors’ experiences from their own successful farm.” —Michael B. Timmons, PhD & PE, Professor Biological & Environmental Engineering, Cornell University
