Aquaponics for Cities
Farm Urban is on a mission to transform our cities, towns and organisations into greener, healthier, more inclusive places.
They use Vertical Farming which refers to the practice of cultivating crops in vertically stacked layers, utilizing controlled environments. This method allows for the growth of plants in various structures, including skyscrapers, warehouses, and shipping containers, making it particularly suitable for urban areas where land is scarce.
The basic components of an aquaponic vertical farm include fish tanks, hydroponic vertical channels or beds, and a sump tank. All components are connected by tubing to allow efficient water flow and recirculation.
