Robotic harvesting for Vertical Aquaponics

January 26, 2018February 2, 2018 openseedsAquaponics

Been thinking about what it is that makes robot harvesting difficult. Part of the problem is picking up the cut leaves. By growing vertically that harvesting could be easier, using a relatively cheap robot arm with scissors and a bucket (above from Micropede) You’d need to move the arm around, possibly using Tslot as rails…Continue reading Robotic harvesting for Vertical Aquaponics

Visual Fish analysis in Aquaponics

January 20, 2018January 20, 2018 openseedsAquaponics

Thinking about the ARKĀ and how fish behaviour could be monitored. There already exists a temperature compensating feeder from Aquaponics lab. What would it look like to factor in the fish behaviour into a feeding regime? So if fish were observed using an underwater USBĀ camera & A Pi what analysis could you run? Some useful tools…Continue reading Visual Fish analysis in Aquaponics

Zero fossil fuel inputs

Reducing our fossil fuel consumption is the first step towards a regenerative agriculture

No off-site fertility

Aims for zero inputs of off-site fertility

Protein-rich staple foods.

Focuses on crop systems producing protein-rich staple foods.

Improving on Farm Protein Production

The Agroecology lab conducts research into human-scale, low-carbon agroecological systems for the UK context. It operates from a one-acre site near Yate.

Food Security, and Ecological Resilience.

We sit at the intersection between Sustainable food and Permaculture and the digital revolution

Open Source research

We study, design, manage and evaluate proof of concept agricultural systems.
Considering the interactions of all important biophysical, technical and socioeconomic components of farming systems
