2015 Annual Report for GS13-125
Economic Analysis of Commercial Aquaponic Production Systems
Summary
This year, I have been able to finish producer visits and data collection. I am now at the point where I am almost finished with 3 case studies on each producer/partner. I have finished creating the Commercial Aquaponic Producer survey. I intend to release this survey today (March 30, 2015). Once data from that survey is collected, I will be able to complete my final report.
Objectives/Performance Targets
I have completed the studies on 3 different commercial aquaponic production systems, data collection, and have finished the survey instrument for my final objective; which is to Analyze the supply chain and marketing techniques employed by various commercial aquaponic producers.
Accomplishments/Milestones
I have nearly completed 3 case studies summarizing the 3 commercial aquaponics systems I have studied. I hope to release these case studies to the public in the very near future.
