The First of its kind in India- A unique integration of hen, fish, and hydroponics in a circular pyramid concept.
ICPF is a method of farming in a combination of Vertical Hydroponics + Fish Culture + Poultry + Solar Energy. This creates a closed-loop where the organic waste of one activity is fed back into the system as an input to the other activity. In practice, it implies reducing farm waste to a minimum resulting in a circular system of efficient resource utilization. ICPF is a system that tries to imitate nature’s principle, where varied types of plants, birds, fish, and other aquatic flora and fauna can be integrated for production. These are combined in such a way and proportion that each element helps the other; the waste of one is recycled as a resource for the other through LEISA techniques (Low External Input Supply Agriculture).
With this technology, Beegle Agritech has been heping farmers in raising Hens + Fishes + and Plants in Vertical Hydroponics Structure with very minimum space, water and manpower. In a conventional method, farmers can grow 25 to 30 plants in 25sq ft of area, but by using this ICPF model farmers can grow 105 Plants + 5 Hens+ 35 Fishes in the same 25 Sqft of area. With this method we have increased the productivity of farm by more then six times with diversified activity and all that with just 2000 Liters of water.
The model helps farmers in getting diversified income, and higher returns with minimum operation costs. The method uses the waste of one activity as input to the other, the poultry waste helps in producing food fishes and waste from poultry and fish gets filtered and gets converted into nutrients for plants and water gets purified and returns back to the fish pond, hence we can grow crops without any synthetic fertilizers and chemicals. It utilizes zero chemicals and almost nary any external nutrient supplement, making it self-sufficient. This happens because the waste of one activity is used as valuable input for another. Further, due to its vertically stacked hydroponics and longer shelf life, many of the processing concerns can be addressed. But speaking about the elephant in the room, due to its very low maintenance effort, time and money, it is the most sought after technique by the youth of India. Its simplicity to create and the integrated circular system, makes it easier for our current farmers also to understand and comprehend.This model has been executed in one of the farmers field in Shivkote, near Hesargatta, Bangalore
