The following links examine some topics that we receive many questions about.
Aquaponics is the combination of aquaculture (producing fish for human consumption) with hydroponics using the fish waste to provide some of the nutrients the plants require. This is a very complex problem which presents many challenges that must be overcome.
We receive many inquiries about the conversion of warehouses to plant factories. While this is certainly possible, the amount of energy required to produce a single head of lettuce if one must provide all of the lighting to the plant artifically may surprise you!
A photovoltaic panel converts energy from the sun to produce electricity. With the increasing interest in urban agriculture (vertical greenhouses), often there is a desire to combine photovoltaic panels with supplemental lighting.
