NSW Department of Primary Industries – The Yabby Unit

Trevor Cochrane from the Garden Gurus TV shows us how to expand an existing aquaponics system to grow fish using solar panel energy to run the electrics. This completely organic vegetable growing system can save you electricity by using solar, batteries and 12V power.

Australian vegetable farmers speak about Economy of Scale Gazzola Farm, Koala Farm, Schreurs Farm and Rugby Farm: These vegetable farming businesses utilize the innovative approaches along Australia’s East Coast region. By applying clever farming strategies, they are able to overcome challenges both specific to Australia and shared by farmers globally.

Internet of food: Arduino-based, urban aquaponics in Oakland The land in West Oakland where Eric Maundu is trying to farm is covered with freeways, roads, light rail, and parking lots so there's not much arable land and the soil is contaminated. So Maundu doesn't use soil. Instead, he's growing plants using fish and circulating water. It's called aquaponics- a gardening system that combines hydroponics (water-based planting) and aquaculture (fish farming). It's been hailed as the future of farming: it uses less water (up to 90% less than traditional gardening), doesn't attract soil-based bugs and produces two types of produce (both plants and fish).

Internet of Farming: Arduino-based, backyard aquaponics Rik Kretzinger grew up on a Christmas tree farm and spent his college years studying horticulture, but he found it too difficult to make a living as a small farmer so he spent most of his career working for others. A few years ago, he began to tinker with aquaponics (fish-farming + hydroponics), sensors, and the open-source microcontroller Arduino to create an automated garden that could compete with commercial farms.

Aquaponic farming saves water, but can it feed the country?
