Hi friends, greetings of the day! This is an intro-post.
My full name is Vijayakumar Narayanan. People who knew my work fondly calls me Father of Indian Aquaponics. You may please call me VKN.
Here is my short bio:
Present: I have 10+ years of hands-on experience as an early adopter of Integrated Aquaponics System (IAS) farming technology. My interest areas include but are not limited to commercial integrated farming; training, consulting, speaking, franchising IAS technology; cooking traditional food; nonduality and more.
For the last couple of years, I have been working with various teams in planning and designing the agricultural belt of an entire social complex of The Venus Project (https://www.thevenusproject.com/food-agriculture/). My work on that include scalable IAS solutions for the execution of various agricultural methods and practices of cultivating the soil, producing crops and raising fish poultry and livestock and in varying degrees the preparation and marketing of the resulting products to Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) subscribers.
Past: Fifteen years of managerial experience in heading/managing large teams with overall business operations, P&L, strategic planning and overall responsibilities. Instrumental in starting up and operating several BPO companies in India, Oman, and Bahrain. Prior to that, a Soldier and Education Instructor in Indian Army Educational Corps for eight years.
Knowledge is always limited! I am here to opensource whatever knowledge I have learned, experienced and found it useful on the above subjects - Art of Growing | Knowledge Opensource!
For starters, I plan to make one weekly post or more and to answer all your questions on growing healthy food locally for self, family, your neighboring community or for the market needs.
Be happy and live sustainably in harmony with nature! Looking forward to your connection.
Kind regards, @veekeyen
