Скачать или смотреть Turning Over a New Leaf With Aquaponic Farming

On a smallholding in the West Coast town of Vredenburg, partners Louis and Nadine Kuys are growing a range of edible greens thanks to their ingenious system of aquaponic irrigation. Louis’ love for aquaponics (a method of farming hybridised from aquaculture and hydroponics) saw the family move from a larger farm in Hopefield to their current agrarian retreat in Vredenburg. Supplying two large supermarket chains as well as restaurants in nearby Langebaan and Paternoster with fresh produce, Louis and Nadine are meeting the demand for healthy, organically grown salad greens. Harnessing a passion for the environment, the couple began Forest Friends Urban Farm that they now share with their two-year-old daughter Ellie, a family of chickens and two milking goats. Not to be excluded, Forest Friend’s unique system of farming also includes a school of tilapia fish, whose nitrogen-rich waste provides nourishment to the lettuces grown through aquaponics.
