Trifecta Ecosystems is Connecticut’s leader in aquaponics technology and the controlled environment agriculture industry.

We’re creating incentives for communities to grow their own food while raising awareness about sustainable farming through education, workshops, and city projects. Trifecta’s line of aquaponics systems gives schools, organizations, and community groups the tools they need to contribute to their local food system, while benefiting the education, therapy, and skill-training sectors in a meaningful way.Website: http://trifectaecosystems.com/
