ACUAPONÍA EJE RAÍZ

ACUAPONÍA EJE RAÍZ is a small-scale aquaponics project located in Santa Rosa de Cabal, Risaralda. It operates a water recirculation system that combines fish farming with plant cultivation, allowing for sustainable food production. Founded by an agronomist engineer, the initiative has a minimal organizational structure consisting of only three people, and focuses on the production of unique products such as basil pesto, lime pesto and sweet pickled cucumbers. The founder has developed a more economical approach to aquaponics, using recycled materials and experimenting with various crops. The initiative is committed to sharing knowledge and fostering a connection with the local community, emphasizing the importance of growing food without chemicals and promoting agroecology.

AFO Acuaponía INTL SAS

The initiative focuses on the development and implementation of aquaponics systems, which integrate fish farming and plant cultivation in a sustainable closed-loop environment. Located in a rural area, the founders were initially involved in selling fresh produce, such as herbs and lettuce, but moved on to designing and building aquaponics systems tailored to a variety of clients, such as restaurants and community centers. Their approach emphasizes sustainability, using solar energy and waste recycling, while incorporating innovative technology such as the Internet of Things to improve system management. The initiative not only addresses food production, but also aims to create a social impact by providing educational opportunities and resources to local communities, thus promoting self-sufficiency and environmental stewardship.
