The Aquaholic Show | Jens Björkqvist

Meet the operation manager at Aqua4C, probably the most sustainable fish farm in the world and probably the biggest decouple aquaponics system in the world. At least they have not been proven wrong. This is also the home of the Omega perch, an vegetarian fish. So listen to the story of how this 200ton fish farm came to be and how Valentijn went from building prototypes of machines to learning about aquaponics and to be the operation manager of one of the most interesting fish farms there its too date...

In this episiode I am talking about how Professor Timmons got started in aquaculture and hes current take on were we at today and how the future of fish farming will look (hint: recirculating). He also give his take on what he think is the best way to get started in this field and this is also the same way I got my feet inside the door

Here Ryan share his story how he went from growing greens in his college dorm to how he now is one of the most highly regarded namns in aquaponic. He share how you also can succed in the field and some of the struggles on the way. This was a very nervues for me to do this because I see Ryan as one of the few that know that he is talking about and he is a fountain of knowledgd but at the same time very humble. I really like this guy and you should check out his "College of Aquaponics", I know I am!

This talk between us took place at Alice-Marie's place the last day of my 2week's of internship at here aquaponics farm in Bristol. I am at the end of my aquaculture studies and naturally gravitated outside of the Swedish borders. This resulted in that I was in charge of rebuilding the water flow of the current system (my studies does some good!) and also to get to know Alice more. I am really happy that I did the trip and I looking forward to see her soon again!

In this first episode I'll discuss what a company is (to create wealth) and what it can be (a force of good). But how can you do both without being a victim of greed?

Hans has funded a company called Plantagon how goal is to grow food in the city to combat the upcoming food crisis but he organize it in a way he calls Companization. Hes own answer to secure that his company will be true to its mission even after hes out of the picture. After 10 years working with CSR he share is unique perspective in what he believe a company can be.

Also listen the bonus track to hear him sing in the Swedish radio! Even at 5 years old he did things hes own way! Very inspiring!
