Welcome to Qponics Limited
|
Qponics is an agricultural-biotechnology company operating in the food and beverage sector based in Brisbane Australia. We are focused on the semi-rural and urban production of high-quality organic omega-3 oils from the cultivation of algae integrated into a sustainable combined aquaculture-horticulture process. An aquaculture-horticulture system is the integration of growth of vegetable produce with aquaculture, the farming of fish in tanks, providing a natural balanced relationship between plants, fish, and bacteria that convert toxins such as ammonia into plant nutrients, in a closed recirculating system. These systems, sometimes referred to as aquaponics, utilise the waste streams from aquaculture efficiently eliminating both environmental pollution and the use of inorganic fertilisers. The major source of dietary omega-3 oil is presently fish and fish oil. Demand for high quality fish oil is increasing, however supply is unsustainable due to the decline in annual wild-catch fish production and the potential for depletion of natural fish resources within forty years. In recent times production of omega-3 oils from algae has emerged as a carbon-neutral, sustainable and safer source of omega-3 oils, demonstrated by its exclusive use in infant formula milk products, consequently demand for algal omega-3 oil is anticipated to continue to increase. |
