Aquaculture and Poultry
At Hampshire Eco Farms, we are pioneering an integrated approach that combines poultry farming, fish farming, and crop production.
This holistic system enhances ecological balance and improves overall farm efficiency:
Nutrient Recycling:
-
Utilizes poultry waste as a nutrient-rich feed for fish and as a natural fertilizer for crop fields. This closed-loop system minimizes waste and enhances nutrient utilization across different farming sectors.
Water Efficiency:
-
Water from the aquaculture system is used to irrigate crops, transferring nutrients from fish waste directly to the plants. This not only conserves water but also ensures that crops receive a steady supply of organic nutrients.
Pest and Disease Management:
-
By diversifying the farm ecosystem, we reduce the risk of pest infestations and disease spread, as the waste products of one species serve as resources for others, maintaining natural checks and balances.

Sustainable Fish Products:
-
- Fish Varieties: Focuses on species that are native to the region and known for their hardiness in local conditions, such as tilapia and carp. This choice supports local biodiversity and reduces the need for importation.
-
- Aquaponic Integration: Fish are raised in systems that integrate with hydroponic vegetable production, improving the sustainability of both fish and vegetable lines by creating a symbiotic environment where waste from one process feeds another.
-
- Market Strategy: Targeting both direct consumers through our online platform and wholesale buyers like organic markets and environmentally conscious restaurants. The narrative of sustainability and local production is a key selling point.
