Aquaponics Farms
Built in collaboration with local organizations serving the most vulnerable.
What Is Aquaponics?
A self-sustaining farm that grows fish and vegetables together — no soil, 90% less water, and year-round harvests. Built where food is scarce and jobs are needed most.
What’s Fly Fishing Got to Do With It?
We unite the fly fishing community — guides, brands, and donors — to fund and build these farms. Through trips, films, events, and direct giving, we turn passion into impact.
How Does It Fight Trafficking?
Traffickers prey on poverty. Our farms fight back by creating:
Jobs that keep women and children safe
Food that sustains safe homes and schools
Income that fuels prevention, not just rescue
Fly fishing is the spark. Aquaponics is the solution.
14 Food Security Farms across 4 continents. 31,000+ lbs of fish produced annually.
Hundreds of foster kids served in fishing camps.
