A Silver Bullet?
If our pilot is successful it will show that aquaponic farms can be used to simultaneously combat many of the key issues affecting Madagascar's wildlife today, while also generating goods that can be sold by both conservation groups and local people. Want to know more?
The Science Behind the Magic
How Do Aquaponics Work?
Aquaponic farms are effectively powered by fish. Fish create nutrients within a pool, and then their water is cleaned by feeding that water to crops. This is why unlike most other farms, aquaponic farms do not need soil or fertiliser to function! Want to find out more details?
Food For Forests
Food For Forests is a new project currently launching a pilot study to discover whether aquaponic farms might have a long-term role in saving the unique and beautiful rainforests of Madagascar. If the project can self-sustain, it will offer a new way for conservation groups to generate funds for themselves, while also meeting the needs of local people, in a way which should prevent further damage to the environment.
