Lotus Aquaponics Urban Farming vs. Traditional Farming
-
Organically Grown & No PCBs
- We cannot use pesticides; it will kill our fish which are a key component of the aquaponics system.
-
Lasts Longer
- Our produce is more nutrient dense keeping it fresh for over three weeks when properly stored.
-
Locally Grown
- You can visit the farm anytime to see how your food is grown!
-
Non GMO Seeds
-
Less Pest
- We have a steady stream of nutrients provided by fish in our closed loop, indoor system. Our aquaponics system is significantly less prone to pest than traditional farming.
-
Indoor
- We can grow every season, all year round.
-
Low Water Usage
- Our farm has zero discharge of water into the environment, causing pollution. Our closed loop system allows for water to be reused.
-
Plants Grow Twice as Fast
- Naturally fortified water from fish allows our produce to grow twice as fast as produce grown in traditional farming.
-
Higher Brix Level
- High brix levels make our produce more nutrient dense.
-
Replicate of a 40-Acre Farm Field in 8460 sq ft
- This allows our farm to be extremely environmentally conscious by any standard, but especially compared to traditional farming.
-
Fertilizer is Natural
- Our fertilizer comes from cold blooded fish, which do not carry E. coli or salmonella.
-
Fish Are The Fastest Converter of Plant Protein to Animal Protein
-
Fish Have No Growth Hormones, No Mercury, No Antibiotics and No PCBs
- Our closed loop system receives zero man-made chemicals.
