Dear Friends,
Living
Mandala and NorCal Aquaponics have a cutting-edge training coming
up on new systems of food production for a future of shifting climates and environment stress.
There are still just a few more spaces left, with special discounts and priority space available for the permaculture community.
Low cost camping options for this exciting course are now available at the Solar Living Institute.
Aquaponics combines Aquaculture with Hydroponics creating one of the most sustainable and productive food systems on the planet.
This training is one of a few Commercial Aquaponics Courses available in the country.
What makes this training especially unique as it will also include business coaching as well as permaculture practices focused on closing loops & creating an even more sustainable, dynamic, & regenerative system.
At a time of global climate change, depletion of resources, pollution of water, huge losses of top soil worldwide, and other threats to the future of our food supply, there has never been a more important time to learn about Aquaponics. We can no longer depend on depleting the Earth's oceans and seas to fulfill increasing human desires for fish and seafood.
The green market potential for Aquaponics is huge and growing fast! Get in on the solutionary action early by attending this course.
We are offering special discounts to this unique training to the permaculture community, affiliate organizations, and PDC grads.
Please forward this to friends and colleagues.

Aquaponics Facts
- Aquaponics uses up to 90% less water than conventional farming does
- Aquaponics is energy efficient: It requires up to 1/3 of the energy other farming systems use.
- Aquaponics can have up to 8 to 10 times more vegetable production in the same amount of time and area than conventional gardens or farms.
- Labor can be reduced as much as 40%, while useful byproducts are created that can be used to farm other crops, trees, soil, water, and energy.
- A permaculture inspired system produces all of the systems needs (water, energy, fish feed, heat, etc.) on-site
- Products of the system include: solar electricity, heat, fish, prawns, vegetables, aquatic plants, algae, snails, worms, fertilizer, even methane gas.
Course Description
Aquaponics is one of the most sustainable and productive farming systems in the world. It combines Aquaculture and Hydroponics to create a truly self-sufficient closed loop system that uses only a fraction of the water, labor, energy, etc. that other methods use. Combining Permaculture Design with Aquaponics creates an even more sustainable, dynamic, productive & regenerative system. In this intensive training you will learn some of the most cutting edge pioneering aquaponics systems and gain a solid foundation from which to create your own Aquaponics System, Farm & thriving Green Business.
Permaculture & Aquaponics
Permaculture and Aquaponics focuses truly sustainable closed-loop systems are created that provide all the needs for the system with in the system itself. Max Meyer's focus is on aquapionics systems that that produce virtually all of the system’s needs (water, energy, fish, feed, heat, gas, etc.) onsite! Products of the Meyers systems include; Solar electricity, Solar heated air, Solar heated water, fish, prawns, vegetables, fruit, aquatic plants, algae, minnows, snails, worms, dry and liquid fertilizers, even methane gas!
