FOOD PRODUCTION & AQUAPONICS
Living Legacy Institute and the Free Market’s next project is launching our aquaponic food production program.
Recent advances in aquaponic technology mean we can now produce 100% organic, non-GMO food with less water, energy, labor, and carbon than conventional farming.
This new technology will help us provide sustainable, healthy, organic food for at-risk individuals facing food insecurity.

HOW DOES AQUAPONICS WORK?
Aquaponics is a closed-loop system in which the waste produced by farmed fish or other aquatic animals supplies the essential nutrients for plants grown hydroponically, which in turn purify the water.

ONE:
Fish produce waste.
TWO:
Waste becomes fertilizer.
Plants filter water & absorb nutrients.
THREE:
FOUR:
Clean water returns to fish.
