FRESH-farm
(Aquaponic)

Aquaponics is a sustainable food production system that combines a traditional aquaculture (raising aquatic animals such as snails, fish, crayfish or prawnsin tanks) with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water) in a symbiotic environment. In aquaculture, effluents accumulate in the water, increasing toxicity for the fish. This water is led to a hydroponic system where the by-products from the aquaculture are filtered out by the plants as vital nutrients, after which the cleansed water is recirculated back to the animals. The term aquaponics is a portmanteau of the terms aquaculture and hydroponic.
That’s why we would like to introduce this kind of business here in pangasinan, the Fresh-farm.

    This project is designed to develop a reproducible and self-sustaining aquaponics system based on $100,000 initial investor input. A functioning model will be created to prove the viability of a self contained and symbiotic relationship that combines hydroponic vegetable production with aquaculture production. Hydroponics is the farming of vegetables using only water and loose fill media instead of soil. Aquaculture is the farming of fish in a controlled and sustainable environment. Putting these two systems together provides a source of nutrient rich water for growing plants and a natural filtration system, rich with oxygen, for growing fish. The combined system will be operated and monitored over a five year period to determine the total cost of production for a variety of leafy green vegetables as well as the price per pound of fish created over the same time period.…

    Aquaponics is the process of growing plants with fish. In aquaponics, fish waste produces nutrients for plants and the plants provide a filter for the water. Aquaponics is better than traditional gardening, since it can be used to grow food year round. In places, like Chicago, where the weather changes drastically aquaponics is very useful. Moreover, the chores in traditional gardening are cutback; the chores are more based on feeding the fish and just making sure the plants are growing well. There may be times when the system must be clean or inspected for harmful insects but it's nothing too difficult. An aquaponics system, also, does not require a lot of space. There are some systems that can be started with a normal fish tank and a sturdy bin used as a grow bed. Moreover, aquaponics has many benefits like: reduced water usage, plant growth faster, and plants healthier, since it's all…

    The new practices of aquaculture are innovative and make a very positive impact on the environment and developing communities. One form of aquaculture is hydroponics. Hydroponics is a method of growing plants using mineral nutrient solutions in water without the use of soil (“Hydroponics”). Using this method has many benefits with very few disadvantages. With hydroponics, there is no soil needed, which means there is no limit of growth due to soil types. Because water is recycled, much less is required for growing plants, which is a much more efficient process in dry areas such as Haiti. There is no loss of nutrient and clean water due to water runoff. All of the roots are soaked in nutrient filled water, making rain a natural wash on the leaves. Due to the contamination of water, Haitians have to be very vigilant in avoiding sickness. Hydroponic systems offer a very clean and efficient growing system. The system is not sustainable for bacteria and disease because it is cool and the water is filtrated regularly. Also, because there is no soil, there are no bugs and no weeds. The use of pesticides and herbicides are completely unnecessary. Gardeners have total control over the amount of nutrients that is…

    Consuming meat is a potential threat to the environment because the modern way of raising livestock is polluting the community. Today’s major animal agriculture involves breeding a large number of animals by confining them in small and narrow spaces so that the 6 billion people on the earth can be assured to have sufficient meat supply. However, it seems perfect animal agriculture project has brought out severe problems. In the article “Factory Farms,” the author Bernard Rollin mentions that the industrialized agriculture causes the side effects such as water and air pollution, animal flesh quality and waste dispose treatment etc. This made me think of the movie called Fresh. It talks about the process of animal breeding in the factory farm. I was surprised when I was watching the scene of chicken feedlot, where there were approximately thousands of baby chickens enclosed in a small room. These chickens were thrown to the ground and the feather and waste were all everywhere. The air inside the room is blurry and the workers have to wear breathing mask while working. Virtually, the waste mix with the dusk that generated by animal’s daily activity causes air pollution, and the air pollutants results in having respiration disease such as asthma. Once the air pollutants reach to high concentration, it spreads out to nearby community, and people who live around that area would suffer from it. As a consequence, our environment is being affected by the process of producing meat. Therefore, eating less animal flesh is equal to own a healthier environment.…

    As the world continues to develop and attempts to provide for the ever growing population, more and more land is being diminished, which will eventually destroy the topsoil due to the use of petroleum based fertilizers and other unnatural means of producing vegetation. As this challenge faces us, we will be forced to find other ways of supporting ourselves instead of relying on the farms we have today. It is important that we realize the importance of practicing sustainable farming while we still have the option to make a step in the right direction.…
