We believe in modern agriculture as a way of being environmentally friendly and sustainable. We believe that modern agricultural technology will ensure an abundance of high-quality and fresh food for all. We believe that our business in modern agriculture is changing the world for the better.
TAKE A LOOK AT THE PRODUCTION RESEARCH FARM IN KALY
Future Farming manufactures and supplies hi-tech technologies for modern agriculture. We are engaged in researching and developing technologies, design activities and constructing production aquaponic, hydroponic and RAS farms. We share our know-how and educate the public about modern agriculture.
For those interested in modern agriculture, Future Farming also offers the opportunity to invest and become a part of an interesting project whose goal is not only to make money, but mainly to influence the lives of future generations and the state of the world around us.
Although surveys show that 64% of Czech consumers prefer local goods, two out of three food products in domestic shops have been imported. Between 2003 and 2018, meat and vegetable imports increased by 62%! Every such import item travels an average of two and a half thousand kilometres around the world to its consumer. The effects of such an arrangement are disastrous.
Aquaponics is essentially a return to the roots, because in natural ecosystems everything is always connected to everything else. And in the same way, aquaponics also connects – the breeding of freshwater fish with the cultivation of plants on water. The feces of the farmed fish serve as natural fertilizer for the plants, and the plants then use their root systems to clean the water, which returns to the fish. The only input from the outside is thus food for the fish.
Hydroponics is a simple, modern and clean way of growing plants. All you need for hydroponics is a plant, a nutrient solution and a growing medium to hold the plant in a pot. The main advantages of advanced hydroponics include perfect control of plant nutrition, greater cultivation efficiency, and thus greater yields, lower risk of pests or plant diseases.
RAS (recirculating aquaculture systems) is ecological and sustainable fish farming with minimal impact on the environment. The main advantages of this system include high breeding intensity on a small area, elimination of external diseases, low water consumption and sustainable production not subject to climate change.
Modern agriculture uses up to 95% less water than conventional agriculture. It successfully faces weather fluctuations, is able to adapt to climate change and supply cities with year-round continuous food production. No pesticides, herbicides or antibiotics are needed. And, for example, in the aquaponic system, the atmosphere of the plants is subsidized with carbon dioxide, thereby actively contributing to the reduction of emissions of this gas. Through aquaponics, we help in the fight against climate change.
An aquaponic, hydroponic or RAS farm near every big city
For the construction of our modern farms, we use old agricultural buildings, unused greenhouses, halls and brownfields, which we reconstruct and equip. So we do not build agricultural or forest land that is already quite endangered, on the contrary – we use buildings that have already been built. Our farms are established in the immediate vicinity of cities and towns – so we are really close to our customers. We thereby support interest in the local origin of food and minimize the costs associated with distribution, including the ecological footprint.
If you invest in modern agriculture, you are investing in a closed economic field with a high perspective and profitability. Why? Because people will always eat. By investing in Future Farming, you will create a stable source of income and support a project that has a direct impact on our planet and the lives of future generations. Future Farming is the European leader in advanced aquaponics, hydroponics and RAS. We have all the background, experience and know-how to keep your money safe with us.
Future Farming’s main activities include building large-scale modern farms and in-house development, and delivering the necessary farm technologies. With these activities, Future Farming is successfully expanding worldwide.
The return on investment in modern agricultural technology is between 4 and 6 years, depending on the specific project. For those interested in business in the field of modern agriculture, Future Farming will provide a complete turnkey project, from the selection of a suitable location to the start-up of the agricultural cycle and regular servicing of aquaponic, hydroponic or RAS farms.
We will identify a suitable location, lease suitable land or premises, and obtain all necessary permits.
We will build a working aquaponic, hydroponic or RAS farm and equip it with the necessary technologies.
We ensure smooth operation of farms, which means controlling modern aquaponic, hydroponic or RAS technology.
Based on economic analyses, we will choose the most profitable vegetables and fish species.
