Symbiosis Food Security is Nothing New
In ancient Asia, for instance, rice growers discovered they got better yield when fish were in the rice paddies following floods. The Aztecs, too, 10,000 years ago, developed aquaponics, and there are still people around the word growing using this method of Symbiosis. Fish & Vegetables growing together, exchanging nutrients by recycling the fishes' water.
True Sustainability by Nature
Jawan Farms has designed a 1-hectare livestock fodder farm, 100% chemical-free, grown with Aquaculture nutrients. Harvest 2-5 days after seeding, of crops up to 16,000 Tons every week!

GREENHOUSE POLINATION Australian Stingless Bees
Greenhouse Horticulture needs Bees!
The use of our indigenous social stingless bees (Tetragonula) for pollination purposes has proven successful in various Queensland crops such as macadamias, mangoes, watermelons, and lychees. These native stingless bees are particularly efficient pollinators for macadamias.
Unlike honey bees, native stingless bees tend to forage closer to their hives. This behavior offers advantages in field crops, as the native stingless bees primarily focus on working the crop flowers in proximity to their hive instead of venturing further away in search of different flower types. This behavior also makes them well-suited for pollinating greenhouse crops, as they readily adapt to the confined environment. Trials conducted at the University of Western Sydney have demonstrated their effectiveness in pollinating a variety of greenhouse crops.
Sugarbag bees produces and sells a range of stingless bee keeping products including a hive stocked with bees
In addition to their pollination services, Australia's native stingless bees produce a distinct type of tangy honey known as "sugarbag." While each hive can only yield up to one kilogram of honey per year, they are not meant to compete with the more productive honey bees (A. mellifera) in terms of general honey production. However, similar to some honey produced by honey bees, sugarbag honey has shown significant antimicrobial properties. This unique honey could be developed as a special niche product in Australia, valued for its delicious flavors and medicinal properties.
Viability of Aquaponic CEA Farming
The global aquaponics market has demonstrated remarkable growth potential and viability. Initially estimated at around $180 million in 2013, the market was projected to reach $1 billion by 2020. Subsequent forecasts indicated significant expansion, with the market growing from $409 million in 2015 to $906.9 million in 2021.
Recent data from Industry Arc estimates that the global aquaponics market will reach $1.19 billion by 2023. Additionally, another market intelligence firm valued the market at over $580 million in 2015 and anticipates it will grow to $1.7 billion by 2026, reflecting a compound annual growth rate of 13.5%. These projections underscore the increasing acceptance and success of aquaponic Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) farming horticulture globally.

Our company is by no means radical or preppers, but we can see the road ahead. Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) Dwindling natural resources are forcing us to look into more sustainable ways of living. Aquaponics is a developing sustainable food production method coupling aquaculture and horticulture together in one circular system mimicking nutrient and water cycles in nature. Methodology of
aquaponics has gained increased interest in recent years and the number of aquaponic practitioners has increased greatly since 2007. We must become more food security and pollution aware, take back our own controls, becoming fully sustainable, in even the largest commercial farms, in all food production, where we are not dependant upon third-party supplies, but own and manage our own "Closed-Cycle Sustainable Farming Production", on the largest scale, everything from seed to solar. Our focus is on Commercial Organics with Solar, Symbiosis, and Bioponics. 100% control on our future carbon footprints . No chemicals. No artificial fertilisers. Yes! to good health!

2024 UPDATE RIC NEWS
Review of the operation of the Regional Investment Corporation Act 2018
The Review addresses the proposed scope of the Corporation’s activities after 30 June 2026 and the
appropriate governance arrangements for the Corporation after that date.
The Regional Investment Corporation (RIC) has been operating for 6 years and has delivered 3,060 concessional loans totalling $3.3 billion, as at 31 March 2024, in a nationally consistent way. The loans have largely been provided to the RIC’s target cohort, being farm businesses in financial need, particularly due to drought, but which are considered viable in the long term. The RIC states that farmers have saved approximately $309.03 million in interest as at 31 March 2024 from these loans and only one loan to date appears unlikely to be recoverable in full. This Review recommends the RIC’s retention. Extensive consultation confirmed widespread support
for the continuation of the RIC and its loan programs and noted its predominantly successful loan
delivery.
IMPORTANT REVIEW FOOTNOTE:
While the RIC acknowledges it is currently not well-equipped to assist First Nations people interested in agriculture, the Review recommends activities to enhance its cultural capability including working with other experienced government organisations.
Suggestions to increase the participation of First Nations people and businesses in agriculture are proposed, including the government investigating a First Nations revenue contingent loan.
