The project will increase the scale of PurePonics food production facilities, expanding fish and plant growing areas, improving advanced system controls for greater production security and creating more jobs within agriculture in the field of aquaponics. This will provide the Geelong region with greater security of year round supply of premium food product and a range of specialised, skilled and unskilled jobs in urban based agriculture in an emerging industry. The project will also construct facilities and build aquaponics systems, supported by research with Deakin University, which will facilitate national expansion, headquartered in Geelong, of PurePonics food production farms amongst urban populations across Australia.
