Bahay Kubo Organics (BKO) is a social enterprise based in the Metro Manila area whose aim is to develop self-sustaining and healthy communities through urban farms and social innovation. They aim to develop a community of urban growers who farm organic produce and seek to spread the use of aquaponic technology in the Philippines. Founded by Enzo Pinga, Ryan Aguas and Illian Pascual in 2012, the childhood friends were in the USA when they decided to return to the Philippines to start something that could help fellow countrymen alleviate malnutrition and food scarcity. I had the chance to visit one of their aquaponics farms, where you'll see a system that involves the cultivation of fish and plants, where one produces nutrients to nourish and sustain the other. In addition to farming organic produce, BKO offers paid workshops and trainings about do-it-yourself (DYI) urban farming techniques and aquaponics in order to encourage small and micro urban farms.

where is your location?

There are several factors in studying aquaponics. One place I discovered which succeeds in merging these is the Keiths Ponics Site (google it if you're interested) definately the most useful course that I have ever seen. look at this amazing resource.

sir my name is Rafael im interested in your aqua phonics urban farming . canyou give me information email me rbabelonia08@yahoo.ca thanks

Hi, I'm very interested for my family to have one. Would you tell me where this is in the Philippines?

Can Aquaponics support Milkfish/Bangus? We plan to use Tilapia but would love to raise other favorites.

That's a nice video by the way:) would you like to try my method of composting? It's on my channel

Have you ever tried the AQUAPONICS X10
?

Hi new subscriber here, I love this video, I have started my own organic garden two weeks ago and I am very excited with the project. Please visit my channel (and subscribe, if you like) Thanks

Ganda po ng system nyo Sir!

I admire your rational, feasible and recreateable idea on growing plants AND fish farming. My brother started one and so far so good although I don't know what will happen when winter comes. We have mild winter here in northern California but it can still go down to 20 degree Fahrenheit. Maybe build a greenhouse? Do you have scheduled seminars to re-create your set up in this video?

Sir, Can we visit your aquaponics farm? How can we get there?

1. What are the local tomatoes in the Philippines? What are they called po?
2. Are the seminars free?

Thanks for the great info. I have just started my aquaponics setup a month ago and this is my first time to do the system. I have a bad result showing iron deficiency on my plants. Any inputs why it happens? Thanks for your time..

Where are you guys located in the philippines? And what's the schedule for your seminars? Thank you

How mucj ang magagastos sa isang set up for isang aquaponics system na good for 4 people at maliit na lote like isang dipa wide at 3 dipa lenght?

Hi Sir, saan po ba makakabili ng rubber na ginamit nyo sa growbed, yong may tanim na tomatoe, thanks

i feel elated seeing more and more of my kababayans getting into aquaponics, whether backyard or commercial systems. nicely presented, you are comfortable and have the confidence being a presenter.... and the system looks beautiful... keep it up and i look forward to more videos and extending this technique to serve the community
