Aquaponics can have up to 8 to 10 times more vegetable production in the same amount of time and area than conventional gardens or farms.
Labor can be reduced as much as 40%, while useful byproducts are created that can be used to farm other crops, trees, soil, water, and energy.
A permaculture inspired system produces all of the systems needs (water, energy, fish feed, heat, etc.) on-site
Products of the system include: solar electricity, heat, fish, prawns, vegetables, aquatic plants, algae, snails, worms, fertilizer, even methane gas.

Course Description

Aquaponics is one of the most sustainable and productive farming systems in the world. It combines Aquaculture and Hydroponics to create a truly self-sufficient closed loop system that uses only a fraction of the water, labor, energy, etc. that other methods use. Combining Permaculture Design with Aquaponics creates an even more sustainable, dynamic, productive & regenerative system. In this intensive training you will learn some of the most cutting edge pioneering aquaponics systems and gain a solid foundation from which to create your own Aquaponics System, Farm & thriving Green Business.


Permaculture & Aquaponics

Permaculture and Aquaponics focuses truly sustainable closed-loop systems are created that provide all the needs for the system with in the system itself. Max Meyer's focus is on aquapionics systems that that produce virtually all of the system’s needs (water, energy, fish, feed, heat, gas, etc.) onsite! Products of the Meyers systems include; Solar electricity, Solar heated air, Solar heated water, fish, prawns, vegetables, fruit, aquatic plants, algae, minnows, snails, worms, dry and liquid fertilizers, even methane gas!


Biogas Digester Workshop

Biogas is a naturally produced fuel, capable of powering stoves, lights, refrigerators, and anything that natural gas or propane can power.

In this workshop you will get complete information about how to understand, successfully make and properly use biogas (Day 1), as well as how to make simple, effective, low–cost digesters. You will learn a good deal about the tools and techniques required to build fairly large as well as smaller digesters (Day 2). Everyone who attends the first day of class will get a copy of The Complete Biogas Handbook (which offers a much-praised view of everything concerning biogas). Those who attend the second day will get a CD with a heap of wonderful information, including more than 2 megabytes of information about how to build all kinds of biogas digesters.

The first twenty who attend both days will leave with their own small Biogas Digester!
