Nelson and Pade, Inc.® (https://aquaponics.com/)
Founded 40 years ago, N&P provides aquaponic systems, supplies, training and support to schools, universities, food banks, individuals and entrepreneurs. Unlike traditional agriculture, N&P Aquaponic Systems and methods use 1/6th of the water to sustainably grow 8x more food per acre, without the use of pesticides, herbicides or chemical fertilizers, year-round, in any climate. N&P’s Aquaponic Systems are designed based on scientific research and 25+ years of development, refinement and operation. These systems produce higher quality fish and vegetables with increased production over other food production methods.
In an educational setting, Aquaponics is an excellent means of demonstrating many principles of science, agriculture, nutrition, math and business, in all grade levels from elementary to University. A classroom system will inspire a sense of responsibility and an understanding of food production as students nurture fish and plants. A unit in Aquaponics can be started at the beginning of a semester and run through the entire semester or school year, allowing the educator to present the individual concepts and lessons as the plants and fish develop and grow. All of N&P’s Aquaponic Systems for schools include proven system designs and parts, a school curriculum, detailed assembly and operation manuals standard operating procedures, tech support and optional online training programs.
