Business Summary

Fifty years ago, Vancouver Island farmers produced 85% of the Island's food. Today, Island producers provide only about 10% of the food consumed; the rest is imported at the economical and ecological expense of all of us.*1

Have you noticed food and energy pricing going up, with the economy in not the best shape, the people of Vancouver island can expect pricing of food and energy to increase over the coming months/years.

I've heard that production cost of local food is much higher, or labour and environmental reason that we can't grow food. I believe those are just the wrong way of thinking. What if I can tell you of a new way of thinking that doesn't see production cost of local food higher, but cheaper? Would you believe me? Well I hope so.

What I am proposing here is an Aquaponics Farm, if you don't know what aquaponics is please go to this TED talk and watch a 21 min explaining it. youtube.com/watch?v=7nIL9hWW3-Q

I believe the Island is at a turning point. We need to get together to start, not just thinking but building Food Security. Actually building independent self supporting greenhouses. Or trust the global market and the world economy to keep food pricing reasonable. I have lost my faith in the global market, economy and government to help us the people with food security or other securities.

We have a opportunity start building Aquaponics farm, where we can supply lettuces for $0.50 a head, tomatoes at $1.00 a lb and Fish at $5 a head and still be very profitable. Local, healthy choices for local healthy people. While imported food cost will go up, our will stay the same or event reduce as we grow.

We'll take support from as many people on Vancouver island as well can. We welcome all into the business opportunity. The more people there are the bigger and faster we can grow.

We have a 30 acres just outside of Duncan, were 20 of acres of the property is ready to be converted into a high production fo
