Portable Farms™ Aquaponics Systems: 

Portable Farms™ Aquaponics Systems Revolutionary new invention for on-site food production facilities that pay for themselves over time. A 10,000 sq ft Portable Farms Aquaponics System installation in Botswana, Africa. Official launch December 1, 2011 Raises Organic Vegetables and Fresh Fish, 12 months per year Increases Food Security and Availability Offers Dramatic Reduction in Water Usage Requires Minimal Upkeep and Operations Brings Food Production Practices in the 21 st Century

The Portable Farms™ Aquaponics Systems Are Fully Automated : 

The Portable Farms™ Aquaponics Systems Are Fully Automated No need to water your plants because a Portable Farms™ Aquaponics System uses a timed cycle to circulate the water throughout the system so the plants constantly receive a fresh supply of 26 ˚ C (79 ˚ F)nutrient-laden water. No soil is necessary. Plants grow in trays filled with gravel or river rock. No weeding is necessary. No pesticides or fertilizers are necessary. The Portable Farms™ Aquaponics System can be Solar or Wind Powered.

After curing the water and insuring the system has no leaks, the all-male Tilapia fish, (fingerlings) are placed in the warm water in the fish tanks. California Hybrid Tilapia are a crossbred of Mozambique and Hornorum Tilapia. This cross is called female fatal because the females all die very young. :

Portable Farms™ Aquaponics System Technology License Information. Licenses are for specifically defined territories. : 

Portable Farms™ Aquaponics System Technology License Information. Licenses are for specifically defined territories. The area in which the License Holder’s company can sell, build and service the PFAS installations in a reasonable fashion. In some cases this territory will be entire countries, Botswana being a recent example. It is a very large country and the License Holder is a national builder with thirty years of experience and a number of crews, a good fit. However the country’s population is only 3 million. In some instances a city, county or province is a better sized territory to work within for the License Holder. The city of Austin, Texas or the County of Cork or a zone in a large city being examples. Some License Holder companies can reasonably service an area larger than their surrounding county, city, state or province and can apply for an extension of the defined territory.
