They
have redesigned the website from when I was looking last and seem to be
marketing for larger scale sites but you can have small systems as well.Here is some blurb from the website:Food Production Using A Fraction Of Traditional Farming Resources
The
closed ecoCity Farm system uses only 5% of the water used by
traditional farming methods to produce the same volume of product. The
ecoCity Farm model produces high value income for the farmer/producer
as they sell premium enviroponic based products directly to the public.A Scalable SystemThe
ecoCity Farm system is delivered to the customer as a modular, scalable
system that can be sized to the customers site and added to as needed
to accommodate a customers growth requirements. A high density growing
system minimises ground space usage while maximising crop output. A
closed greenhouse environment keeps pests to manageable levels,
controlled or treated by organic farming methods.How the ecoCity Farm WorksIn
the simplest of terms the system works on a patented model where fish
(barramundi, perch or other fresh water fish) in large production tanks
are raised to harvest size. The effluent from the fish is converted in
the patented UES bio-converter which allows the effluent to be passed
on to plants as food through the enviroponic growing system.The
plants strip nutrients from the water, which can then be recycled back
to the fish. This cleaning action means there is generally no need for
purging or releasing water from the aquatic portion of the system into
the environment.Delivery
The
ecoCity Farm is to be sold and distributed throughout Australia and
into international markets. The ecoCity Farm can easily be shipped
worldwide. As the farm is a blend of readily available commercial
components combined with UES control systems, the farms can be
assembled in stages.
Welcome to the near future of farming if we can keep the Monsanto's of the world from derailing this very efficient practice.
Very very cool forum!!!!
