Farming Organic Lettuce and Organic White Trout
Using a total resource recovery approach, we are partners in raising fish in tanks with vegetables grown in water, and without waste.
- The fish waste provides food for growing plants and the plants filter the water for the fish.
- Aquaponics for raising fish and growing plants in water and without soil in one system.
- The USDA has not yet set a definition for organic seafood, so there is no “USDA Organic” option for seafood.
Best Aquaculture Practices Certifications:
- Certifying our farm with Green Seal, and Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) Certification.
- Developing and implementing HACCP plan, and exceeding Global G.A.P. Aquaculture Standards.
AQUAPONICS VS HYDROPONICS 5 WAYS AQUAPONICS IS AN IMPROVEMENT OVER HYDROPONICS
Green Seal provides science-based environmental certification standards that are credible, transparent and essential to helping manufacturers, purchasers and consumers make responsible choices that positively impact business behavior and improve quality of life. Thousands of products and services in hundreds of categories have been certified to meet Green Seal standards. Green Seal provides public education and guidance for creating a more sustainable world.
Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) is an international, third-party certification system that verifies environmentally and socially responsible processes under which finfish, crustaceans and mussels are produced.
Aquaculture Hatcheries and Farms: The GLOBALG.A.P. Aquaculture Standard applies to a diversity of fish, crustaceans and molluscs and extends to all hatchery-based farmed species, as well as the passive collection of seedlings in the planktonic phase. It covers the entire production chain, from broodstock, seedlings and feed suppliers to farming, harvesting and processing
