Freight Farming and Aquaponics

Freight farming is a newer method of farming that utilizes shipping containers as a controlled environment for crop growth. These containers can be placed anywhere, allowing for year-round crop growth regardless of weather conditions or season. The environment inside the container can be precisely controlled for optimal plant growth, including temperature, humidity, light, and nutrients. This method also eliminates the need for large plots of land, making it an attractive option for urban areas or areas with limited space.

Aquaponics is a sustainable and efficient system of agriculture that combines hydroponics and aquaculture. In this system, aquatic animals, such as fish, are raised in tanks and their waste is used to fertilize the plants grown hydroponically. The plants in turn filter and clean the water for the animals, creating a symbiotic environment where both can thrive. This method of farming uses significantly less water than traditional agriculture and eliminates the need for chemical fertilizers, making it a more environmentally friendly option.
