A crowdfunding campaign has been launched on ZAAR to support the first immici microfarm, which will produce foods that are fully sustainable, without the use of artificial chemicals.
Immici uses aquaponics and multitrophic culture, including dualponics, to grow herbs, salads, vegetables, fruit and mushrooms, along with tilapia and marine seafoods, in an eco-friendly and ocean-friendly process that also guarantees exquisite flavour.
“Our microfarms are based on both freshwater and saltwater aquaponics, in a mutually beneficial ecosystem that includes multiple species at different levels of the food chain. The fish produce fertiliser and nutrients for the plants and the plants clean the water for the fish – it is a full cycle that ensures a diverse, sustainable means of growing nutritious and delicious food,” immici founder Michael Bourne explained.
