Portable Farms™ Aquaponics SystemsRevolutionary new invention for on-site food production
facilities that pay for themselves over time.
A 10,000 sq ft Portable Farms Aquaponics System
installation in Botswana, Africa. Official launch December 1, 2011
• Raises Organic Vegetables and Fresh Fish, 12 months per year
• Increases Food Security and Availability
• Offers Dramatic Reduction in Water Usage
• Requires Minimal Upkeep and Operations
• Brings Food Production Practices in the 21st Century
The Portable Farms™ Aquaponics Systems Are Fully Automated
• No need to water your plants because a Portable Farms™
Aquaponics System uses a timed cycle to circulate the water
throughout the system so the plants constantly receive a fresh supply
of 26˚ C (79˚ F)nutrient-laden water.
• No soil is necessary. Plants grow in trays filled with gravel or river
rock.
• No weeding is necessary.
• No pesticides or fertilizers are necessary.
• The Portable Farms™ Aquaponics System can be Solar or Wind
These vegetables were grown in the gravel in the Grow Tray
Tables. A very wide variety of vegetables can be grown. Root
crops excluded. Flowers also can be grown.
A 10’ x 16’ Portable Farms™ Aquaponics System
Growing 500 vegetables and 200 pounds of fish per year.
These plants have been growing about six weeks.
EARLY GROW TRAY TABLE - A Portable Farms™ Aquaponics System
Technology License includes the training and the technology to build an
unlimited number of Units that works year after year, in a climatically adapted
structures within the territory. Portable Farms engineers arrive on site to train
your people to build and operate every facet of the technology.
Newest Technology: Insulated cabinet containing 200 gallon Fish Tank

A 7 module commercial installation showing the 12m x 5m
(40’ x 5’) with 1,500 liter (400 gallon) insulated fish tanks.
After curing the water and insuring the system has no leaks, the all-male Tilapia fish, (fingerlings) are placed in the warm water in the fish tanks. California Hybrid Tilapia
are a crossbred of Mozambique and Hornorum Tilapia. This cross is called female fatal because the females all die very young.
The fish to the right are about 18cm (7”) long and will be harvested at 28cm or .5 kg.
Normally a tilapia grows toharvest size in 6.5 to 8 monthsat that point they are .5kg.
Duckweed can be grown near the farm to feed your fish.
Duckweed is the smallest, flowering plant in the world
and grown under ideal conditions, it is 15% to 45% protein.
Your fresh food is always green and crisp and ready to eat,
and only steps from your kitchen or packing area,
12 months a year . . .
PatioPonics Portable Farms™
Please note: The PatioPonics Portable Farms™ is a different technology and requires a different license, components and initial PPPF kit to complete.

and 400 pounds - 200 kg of fish per year
• A single 6’ x 8’ - 3 m x 3.5 m unit produces 500 vegetables
and 100 pounds - 90 kg of fish per year
Portable Farms™ Aquaponics System Technology License
Information. Licenses are for specifically defined territories.
The area in which the License Holder’s company can sell, build and
service the PFAS installations in a reasonable fashion.
In some cases this territory will be entire countries, Botswana being
the most recent example. It is a very large country with a small
population and the License Holder is a national builder with thirty
years of experience and a number of crews, a good fit.
In some instances a city, county or province is a better sized territory
to work within for the License Holder. The city of Austin, Texas or the
County of Cork or a zone in a large city being examples.
Some License Holder companies can reasonably service an area
larger than their surrounding county, city, state or province and can
apply for an extension of the defined territory.
