FREE Aquaponics Webinar

Introduction to Aquaponics With Applied Permaculture

With Max Meyers & Hannah Apricot

Wednesday, May 2, 6:00 - 7:30 PST

Presenters & Hosts

Max Meyers

Hannah Apricot


What is Aquapoinics?

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, Hannah, and others interested in this powerful farming method for this FREE webinar to learn rmore 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, happenning in Santa Cruz, CA,  May 25-28.


Aquaponics wiht 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!

Presenter



Hannah Apricot Eckberg

Finding creative solutions to our environmental problems and helping share them with others has long been a goal of Hannah Eckberg. Raised on a coastal ranch in California that was threatened by oil development, her environmental work started when she was still in cloth dippers. At the age of 19, she became president of what is recognized as America's first Grass-Roots environmental organization, Get Oil Out!. Through a number of different organizations, Hannah has worked to promote renewable energy and sustainable alternatives such as industrial hemp. Inspired by the principles of permaculture, she started a production company to spread the word of such promising design systems and creative solutions. Recently, Hannah has spent several months in Hawaii studying the sustainable food production method of Aquaponics. Seeing this as a real key to urban, rural, and disaster area food production, Hannah is excited to share this knowledge with others in order to help empower them to take food production into their own hands.
