AQUAPONICS
Three demonstration-sized aquaponics facilities have been constructed to integrate fish farming with plant cultivation. In aquaponics, plants are grown in water rather than soil. The fish produce waste that serves as natural fertilizer for the plants, which help filter and purify the water in return. This symbiotic relationship boosts food production, reduces water usage, and eliminates the need for chemical fertilizers. This innovative approach enhances food production while providing affordable fresh protein and vegetables to communities.
Aeroponic Towers
We have partnered with multiple communities including Muskeg Lake Cree Nation to install vertical aeroponic towers, optimizing space, water efficiency, and year-round production. These towers enhance yields, minimize pest exposure, and promote sustainable agriculture, supporting local food security and economic growth. Despite weather challenges, the relocation of the greenhouse and vertical growing system marks a promising step forward at Muskeg Lake.
