vkn 354 Report post Posted September 10, 2020 (edited) Dear friends, Greetings! I hope you are staying healthy. Long story short, so much has changed in what have been doing. IAVS has been substantially modified and improved. We call it IAS now, Integrated Aquaponics System! IAS - the art and science of growing more food organically, with much less water and energy. You can grow fish, microgreens, greens, herbs, vegetables, fruits, fowls and small livestock using IAS methods. Here is a very brief video for you to have a look. Based on your response, I will elaborate. Kind regards, vkn Edited September 10, 2020 by vkn (see edit history) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aufin 97 Report post Posted September 11, 2020 My sandbeds have been doing just fine for the past 3+ years. Would like to know how it has been improved. The video didnt tell me anything. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vkn 354 Report post Posted September 19, 2020 (edited) It does not really matter how you want to grow more food. Think beyond sand beds. Our children and grand children do not want greenhouse-gas emissions, poverty, and biodiversity loss. Let us do our bit whatever we can. Do something awesome! IAS = Aquaponics + Hydroponics + Organic Agriculture You can grow microgreens, greens, herbs, vegetables, fruits, fowls and small livestock using IAS methods.

vkn 354 Report post Posted September 19, 2020 Q: How to feed 1000 people year round? Here is a typical Integrated Aquaponics System (IAS) project suitable for 200 families or to feed approx 1000 people year round. We have done similar projects. This vision would need a total build area of one to two acres. This is what we are currently working on. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IAS = Aquaponics + Hydroponics + Organic Agriculture You can grow microgreens, greens, herbs, vegetables, fruits, fowls and small livestock using IAS methods. There was a typo.

ande 867 Report post Posted September 29, 2020 (edited) Hi again VKN I'w been reading thru your Facebook page trying to figure out what's happening on your front regarding IAVS developments. Aside from the name change from IAVS to IAS what's new ? cut/paste from facebook Quote : Aquaponics Futurist 23. april · IAS = Future of Food! Integrated Aquaponics Systems is the most productive, resilient and sustainable food production system yet devised! Instead of the acronym "IAS", what else we could call it? Eco-integrated Agriculture (Managed) Ecosystem Agriculture Aqua-integrated Horticulture Aqua-Hort Integrated Horticulture Integrated Aquaculture Unified Nutrition Provisioning BioLOGIC Agrology Biotecture Ecotecture Hortitecture Holistic Horticulture Holistic Agrology Holistic gardening Holistic hunger management Holistic hunger mitigation Whole Earth Gardening Whole Earth Provisioning Whole World Sufficiency Whole World Provisioning Multitrophic Gardening Multitrophic Husbandry You are welcome to join these food movements..#growyourownfood#buylocal#knowyourfarmer#sustainableliving Get educated on the art of growing food.

Please pass it on to your tribe. Appreciate it. Quote end. I can see you are running online training classes on IAS 👍 And understand from your Flatland pic.above that you have adopted Wageningen University research on the Food System Vision 2050 'Re-rooting the Dutch food system: from more to better' https://www.wur.nl/upload_mm/3/3/3/38a7c8a7-4b51-477b-95da-1b15b8df96f8_3 Article vision 2050.pdf cheers Edited September 29, 2020 by ande (see edit history) 1 vkn reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have a look at the ongoing excellent investigations at Jena Experiments in Leipzig University, Germany. Other agricultural universities are 40 to 100 years behind.
