FREE Aquaponics Webinar

Introduction to Closed-Loop Aquaponics

With Max Meyers

Tues, Sept 4, 6:00 - 7:30 pm PST

Presenter

Max Meyers



What is Aquaponics?

Wether you are a beginner, a backyard hobbyist, a homesteader, or a skilled professional wanting to grow more food sustainably and for less work, Aquaponics has something to offer.


Aquaponics is one of the most sustainable and productive farming systems in the world. It combines Aquaculture and Hydroponics to create a truly self-sufficient closed loop system that uses only a fraction of the water, labor, energy, etc. that other methods use, while producing up to 10 times as much food!!




Webinar Description

The webinar will introduce foundational concepts that will be expanded upon at the training such as:

+ System design and construction

+ Business models

+ Case studies

+ Guidelines and more.


Join Max and others in this powerful farming method for this FREE webinar to learn more about this amazing approach to food generation, green business and sustainable design. This hour- plus long webinar is an introduction and sneak peak into the Upcoming  4-day Training: Closed-Loop Aquaponics With Applied Permaculture Design, happening in Santa Rosa, CA,  Sept.


Aquaponics with Applied Permaculture

Combining Permaculture Design with Aquaponics creates an even more sustainable, dynamic, productive & regenerative system. This approach ensures that truly sustainable closed loop systems are created, as the design embeds each of the system's needs (water, energy, fish, feed, heat, gas, etc.) to be generated on site.  Products of a permaculture designed aquaponics systems can include: solar electricity, solar heated air, solar heated water, fish, prawns, vegetables, fruit, aquatic plants, algae, minnows, snails, worms, dry and liquid fertilizers, even methane gas!


At a time of global climate change, depletion of resources, pollution of water and huge losses of top soil worldwide, there has never been a more important time to learn about Aquaponics!
