Problems With Agriculture In The US
As populations continue to rise and access to land and fresh water grows more scarce, we must turn to more efficient methods of growing food.
Why Agriculture Matters In San Diego
San Diego is one of the most biologically diverse areas in the continental U.S. We see it as our duty to protect our home’s unique species and landscapes. Our aquaponics systems use 0 pesticides and 90% less land and water, allowing us to feed more people healthy food with less environmental impact.
The Next Generation of Environmentalists
The path to sustainability starts with educating our planet’s future keepers. We provide young environmentalists, scientists, and leaders with the tools they need to think creatively and make informed decisions for positive economic, cultural, and ecological change.
Our Aquaponics Innovation Center
The Aquaponics Innovation Center serves as a state-of-the-art research facility where people can see a demonstration of truly efficient aquaponics in action. We donate the nutrient-dense vegetables we grow to local people in need.
