Aquaponic Ecosystem which is highly scalable with consistent high-quality

At HyperLocal, we build Tech Farms (Fusion Farms) that primarily utilize Aquaponics, growing tilapia that are raised in large tanks, where they are overseen by our aquaculture experts and tended to by our carefully trained staff. As the fish produce ammonia through their gills and waste, the ammonia is broken down by beneficial bacteria, creating nitrites which are converted to nitrates essential for the plants. In simple terms, fish are the nutrient engine for plants to grow.

In this closed-loop system, hundreds of gallons of water circulate between the fish tank and the deepwater culture (DWC) where the plants absorb the nutrients through their roots. The nutrient-rich water from the fish provides the natural fertilizer for the plants and the plants help to purify the water for the fish.

This all takes place within a “controlled environment,” in which temperature, humidity, and other important variables for agriculture can be carefully managed to give both the fish and the plants the best environment to thrive. Through careful monitoring, data collection, remote sensing devices, and water testing, aquaponics will produce the highest nutrient density in the shortest amount of time protected from bad weather, mold, pests, disease, and harmful pathogens. Aquaponics is chemical-free, and pesticide-free grow system which allows the plants and the fish to express their full flavor profile naturally. We have removed “seasonality” from the growing equation and have created a perfect season year-round. The majority of our crops, including lettuce take only 28 days to full maturity which allows for 12 harvest cycles per year! We have also invented the “Carousel Schedule” which allows us to harvest weekly!
