Global Strategic Vendor Relationship
Founded 40 years ago, Infood’s exclusive Aquaponics strategic vendor, Nelson and Pade, Inc.®, provides aquaponic systems, supplies, training and support. Unlike traditional agriculture, these 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. The 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.
Aquaponics Education
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 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.
Management Commentary
Said Vik Grover, CEO: “We are now in the sales phase of our Infood Technologies launch through email, direct mail, outbound calls, in person meetings, trade shows, and community networking. K12 and colleges/universities are the tip of the iceberg for indoor farming systems, as an increasing percentage of the world’s food supply moves hyper-local benefiting from the positive economics, high safety levels, and low pollution of local grow facilities including aquaponics. There is a growing trend of educational institutions embracing indoor farming as a means of adding to their curriculum and delivering food products to their student populations. Infood’s expanded, proprietary offering of aquaponics with higher system capacities at higher price points increases our total addressable market to larger schools, colleges and universities, not-for-profit grow farms, and for-profit commercial operators. With over 130,000 K12 schools, thousands of colleges and universities, and a similar number of municipal governments nationwide as well as the commercial farm vertical, the revenue opportunity for aquaponics systems is vast and there is further upside to Infood’s financial model.”
