Emerald Aquaponics
About Us
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
Emerald Aquaponics is a sustainable growing business founded by Kedar Friis-Lawrence and Charles Carr. We are passionate about building practical aquaponic systems that support efficient food production, healthy plant growth, and a more responsible approach to agriculture.
Our work is rooted in the belief that modern growing should be innovative, resource-conscious, and closely aligned with natural systems. By combining fish and plant cultivation in balanced recirculating environments, we aim to develop solutions that are both productive and sustainable.
As co-founders, we bring a shared commitment to quality, learning, and long-term thinking. Emerald Aquaponics was created to explore better ways to grow, with a focus on sustainability, resilience, and the future of food production.
Our Story
Emerald Aquaponics was founded by Kedar Friis-Lawrence and Charles Carr with a shared belief that food production can be smarter, cleaner, and more connected to nature.
Coming from a hands-on interest in sustainable growing, we created Emerald Aquaponics to explore a better way to produce fresh food through balanced, efficient systems. By combining fish cultivation with plant growth in a natural recirculating environment, we aim to show how aquaponics can support local food production in a practical and environmentally responsible way.
As co-founders, we bring a shared commitment to innovation, learning, and building systems that are both productive and sustainable. Emerald Aquaponics reflects our vision for a more resilient approach to growing — one that values resource efficiency, healthy ecosystems, and high-quality produce.
We are building Emerald Aquaponics as more than a business. It is a long-term commitment to developing sustainable solutions, sharing knowledge, and contributing to the future of modern agriculture
