AQUAPONICS

Agritech

In order to provide safe and delicious food, we are working on an eco-friendly agriculture and fishery industry called "Aquaponics"

What is Aquaponics?

Aquaponics is a combination of "Aquaculture" and "Hydroponics". Aquaponics grows fish and vegetables together. When the fish eat the bait and provide nutrients in the form of their "waste," or excrement, the bacteria decompose it and produce nutrients for the plants. The plants use the nutrients for growth, and the purified water is returned to the fish tanks. Since there is no drainage, the environmental load is low, and pesticides and chemical fertilizers cannot be used due to protect living fish. This new method is in the spotlight as an eco-friendly and sustainable recycled farming method, which can be said “Organic cultivation with water instead of the soil”.

Challenges of aquaponics

Initial cost is higher than outdoor cultivation

Require knowledge of agriculture and aquaculture

Need to manage water quality for vegetables and fishes

Awareness and permeation of aquaponics are low in Japan

Solution

AQUAPONICS

IoT

We have developed an IoT service to solve the challenges of aquaponics.

Mana system

We has developed the "Mana System," which enables IoT sensor-based visualization and data management of cultivation and aquaculture environments, and environmental control.

Features 2

You can monitor the situation remotely and in real time using a smartphone, PC, or tablet. There is no need to visit the site.

Features 3

This is a subscription-based service in which calibrated sensors are sent to you on a regular basis.No sensor maintenance or checking with reagents is required.

Announcement

We would like to express our sincere gratitude for the many requests for tours of the Mana's vegetable garden.
Regarding the tours, priority will be given to those who are considering implementing the "Mana System".
If you are not interested in implementing the "Mana System" and just want to see the aquaponics, you can attend the open day that will be held in the future.
The specific schedule for the next open day will be announced on the website as soon as it is finalized.

「マナの菜園」の見学に関する多数のお問い合わせをいただいており、心より感謝申し上げます。見学については、当面は「マナシステム」の導入を検討されている方に限定させていただくこととなりました。

次回の見学会は、2023年9月8日(金)に予定しております。

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS


I cannot sign a subscription type contract because I am an educational institution.

For those who cannot sign a subscription contract, we offer a plan that does not include regular delivery of calibrated sensors. Please contact us once.

Can it be used for marine aquaculture in addition to land-based aquaculture?

We are developing a mana system that can be used for marine aquaculture. If you would like to use it, please contact us.

Can the Mana System be used in countries other than Japan?

Sorry, the mana system is limited to use in Japan.

We opened our own aquaponics farm "Mana's vegetable garden" in Yaotsu-cho, Kamo-gun, Gifu Prefecture, which is blessed with water and air.
We sell fresh vegetables harvested from our own farm at the EC Direct Marketing Service "TABE CHOKU" and the roadside station "Kanitte" in Kani City, Gifu Prefecture.

TABE CHOKU

You can buy fresh vegetables picked in the morning from anywhere in Japan.
