Your HydroHof: AI-based automated aquaponics systems in a furniture design for fresh, regional food right in your living room. We need you: Support us now as an early bird and secure one of the first systems in our product range at a special price.
Aqua - what?
In aquaponics, fish and plants grow in a water cycle: the nutrient-rich wastewater from the fish flows to the plants, which absorb the nutrients through their roots - and the purified water is returned to the fish.
Ingenious? Yes. Exactly. Because it's ingenious and unknown, we've made it our mission to take aquaponics out of its research niche and make it suitable for everyday use.
Our vision
What we do
With HydroHof, we develop intelligent aquaponics systems for the home: as stylish as a piece of furniture, as sustainable as your own garden. Herbs, lettuce, charcoal, and fish grow in a closed loop, controlled by smart sensors that automatically optimize nutrients, water quality, and light conditions.
Here on this page we show you the first designs and features of our first product line "Your HydroHof" - compact, modular and ready for your home.
Future Farms
While we initially want to build your home HydroHof, we are also continuing to develop AI-integrated biosensors for real-time monitoring and optimization of human, plant, and fish health.
In collaboration with Fraunhofer and Aquaponik Manufaktur GmbH, we are planning a 3500 sqm aquaponics farm that, with the help of our research into demand forecasting technology, will revolutionize local food supplies and make overproduction a thing of the past.
Understanding aquaponics
Aquaponics offers a transformative answer to key challenges of our time. Closed-loop systems save up to 90% of water—a decisive advantage in the fight against increasing water scarcity worldwide (IndustryARC, 2012).
By decoupling production from weather, soil quality, and seasons, aquaponics enables stable productivity, even under conditions of extreme weather and climate stress (ÖDP, 2023). It creates the basis for regionally anchored food production, which not only benefits consumers but also opens up new, resilient supply chains for food manufacturers (ÖDP, 2023). At the same time, sustainable aquaculture relieves pressure on overfished oceans by reducing harvesting from wild stocks and avoids environmental problems such as soil erosion and overfertilization, as nutrients from fish farming are kept in circulation (Ecolife Conservation, 2022; SeawaterCubes, 2023).
In the long term, aquaponics not only contributes to food security but also to Germany's economic resilience: As an innovative technology for independent, crisis-proof and resource-saving production, it can reduce import dependence, strengthen regional value creation and establish a new agricultural economy (IGB Berlin, 2024).
