Our
Trial System
Why the Trail System
The Trial System is not at a Commercial scale Aquaponics system but it was designed for;
- Organizations or Individuals who want to experience whether Commercial Aquaponics farming would be suitable as a project without blowing out their funding / budget.
- Because of its small size, this system is perfect way to test the capacity of the staff/people to manage a Aquaponics farm in a location without overly committing.
- The system is ideal to use for research and development, to run trails of different varieties of vegetables, fruit, and fish to see their potential for growth due to the climate of the location.
This and all of Together We Can Grow system are design to be packed up like tent and moved to a location but still be study and durable.
