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.
