We work it out, so you don’t have to.

Lorraine Hodges

I am a biologist with a strong focus on designing aquaponics systems that are both efficient and sustainable. I specialize in providing tailored solutions to public and private organizations, as well as individuals looking to adopt aquaponics. Through my commercial brand, AQUAPONICS Costa del Sol, I aim to promote community-based aquaponics and raise awareness about its potential. My goal is to make aquaponics an accessible, cost-effective, and user-friendly technique that can be easily implemented by anyone, regardless of their resources or experience. I am passionate about sharing knowledge and empowering individuals and communities to use aquaponics as a sustainable and practical solution for food production, whilst contributing to a greener future for all.

Design

• Efficient

During the design process, I consider various work methods, spaces, and tasks to ensure that they are optimised for efficiency, versatility, and adaptability, catering to individuals of all profiles.

• Tactics

When designing, I take into account work methods, spaces, and tasks to ensure that they are light, dynamic, and adaptable to any type of person.

• Audits

I will offer you precise recommendations for optimising your aquaponics system, including suggested changes to its elements, maintenance tasks, and improvements to enhance overall performance.

• Project Management

If desired, our team of skilled professionals can transform your concept into a tangible reality. We provide comprehensive turnkey solutions to bring your idea to life.

Training

• Communities

We deliver specialised training programs tailored to communities that require specific guidance, support, and ongoing monitoring. Our training ensures that the aquaponics project maintains the intended impact for which it was implemented.

• Business

We provide comprehensive training programs for your workforce, available in multiple languages. Our offerings include an assistance program, ongoing advice, and up-to-date information on the latest techniques in this innovative method of fish and plant farming.

• KIDS

We have developed a unique curriculum and design tailored specifically for schools. Our approach is engaging, enjoyable, and designed to help students understand the significance of the natural balance inherent in aquaponics, which serves as a mirror of nature.

• Courses

We provide a range of training courses to meet your needs. Our offerings include basic training courses where you can learn the fundamental concepts and gain the skills to manage small-scale aquaponic systems. Additionally, we offer advanced courses tailored for medium to commercial-sized operations.

Networking

• Research

We actively engage in conducting our own research on the aquaponic production model. Our research initiatives involve testing novel materials, exploring design enhancements, and generating innovative ideas aimed at advancing the sustainability of aquaponics.

• Public Engagement

We actively participate in events, exhibitions, fairs, and other public gatherings to raise awareness and advocate for aquaponics as a sustainable method of food production. Our presence at these events allows us to promote the benefits and potential of aquaponics to a wider audience.

• Promote

We engage in various activities to promote aquaponics extensively. These include conducting informative and interactive demonstration workshops, organizing exhibitions to showcase aquaponics systems in action, delivering presentations to share knowledge and insights, and participating in engaging talks to inspire and educate others about the benefits of aquaponics. Through these initiatives, we aim to create awareness and foster a deeper understanding of aquaponics among diverse audiences.
