🌎 Future Farming at IPM Essen: New partnerships on the horizon

In January 2024, Grow Director and Future Farming came together 🤝 to take aquaponic 🌱🐟 farm automation to the next level.

The beginning of the collaboration is the result of a two-year tender process to find a supplier of hardware and software for our farms, followed by structured data storage and analysis. Together with our Israeli partner, we plan to use artificial intelligence to analyze three years of data from Future Farming’s operations to significantly optimize the entire operation.

🌱🐟 Do you know the heart of every aquaponic farm?

It's the biofilter that transforms fish waste into useful substances for plants. ✅

👉 The biofilter converts toxic ammonia and nitrites from fish waste into non-toxic nitrates that are vital to plants. This process is called nitrification, and nitrifying bacteria are the ones that make it possible.

Together with BAKTOMA.cz, a company that selects and processes these special bacteria, we have developed special mixtures of these microorganisms that help us keep our biofilters functioning properly. 👍

This is a challenge because the bacteria have to work in different temperature conditions - for rainbow trout the upper temperature limit is around 17°C, while African catfish should not see temperatures below 28°C.

💁‍♂️ This long-term collaboration, which we value very much, allows us to achieve optimal results in different conditions. 🤝
