PARIS Oct. 24 – Sial, the International Food Salon of Paris, organized once very two years, is currently taking place in the Villepinte Fair facilities. The Marche region is represented by 10 companies, participating under the Region’s brand and Marchet, the specialized Chamber of Commerce Ancona agency for internationalization. Operators’ participation in the past three days has been relevant. “Regardless of the current crisis – says Paolo Petrini, vice president and assessor to Agriculture – the food and wine sector is performing better than expected.” The Marche products are exposed in the Italian Section managed by ICE in Pavilion 1. Other firms from the region are present as independent agents and through other representatives. Clearly, this 2012 edition is dominated by young entrepreneurs, who work with honey and wine and were selected by the Ministry for Agricultural Policies and the new Marche Bio Consortium – also present at the Salon in Pavilion 8, dedicated to bio products. The initiative is the fruit of the collaboration between the Marche Region and the Ancona Chamber of Commerce, that was able to introduce regional products in an international fair, with operators from all over the globe.

Amsterdam-based cultural institution Mediamatic has started a collective for aquaponics. The group is rich with information and resources. They run regular workshops with updates on their blog. Locals can take part in running the system on-site, or learn how to build their own. Similar groups have sprung up like Growing Power in the US. These collectives help to increase public awareness and expand the knowledge base for aquaponics.

Herbert-Fort, a former graduate student at the University of Arizona and longtime farmer and research scientist, created Local Roots Aquaponics about a year ago, with the intention of producing food, “sustainably and locally, using the safest and most natural material possible.” By replacing traditional mined fertilizer with lava rock from northern Arizona, reusing food-grade plastics for containment systems and implementing a water recirculation system that drastically reduces the amount of water wasted in desert climates, Herbert-Fort uses a system of farming known as aquaponics, “to produce the purest food, locally.”
