Nelson/Pade Philosophy and History
Background Information

It is more important than ever to demonstrate means of cultivating food that do not have a negative effect on our planet and its inhabitants and is also safe, healthful and free of contamination.  Hydroponics, organic culture, aquaculture, and the combination of these technologies, aquaponics, all can be used to produce large quantities of food in very small spaces in an environmentally friendly way. Whether applied in small backyard gardens or commercial operations, these technologies are the way of the future.  

Rebecca Nelson and John Pade, the directors of Nelson and Pade, Inc., have an intense interest in aquaponic, organic and hydroponic culture. In publishing the Aquaponics Journal, consulting on hydroponic and aquaponic and producing a variety of informational products on these subjects, they share experience, knowledge and information accumulated through many years of hands-on commercial hydroponic and aquaponic production and research.

Currently, John and Rebecca publish the Aquaponics Journal, CD-Roms, videos, books and school curriculums on hydroponics, aquaponics and aquaculture, plus they offer consulting services to people interested in getting into hydroponics or aquaponics on a commercial, educational or hobby scale. 

Their knowledge of hydroponic and aquaponic technology stems from years of research and hands-on, successful operation of a commercial hydroponic and aquaponic facility.  In addition, they have helped many others get started in hydroponics and aquaponics.  The specific areas of experience we have include commercial hydroponic growing, aquaponics, system design, specialty crop marketing, greenhouse construction, training and education and agri-tourism.

Due to the increased demand for complete packaged aquaponic systems, Nelson and Pade now offer equipment packages that are proven to work.  From desktop kits to backyard aquaponic gardens to commercial greenhouse packages, there is a package ready for you to order today.  We don't believe in re-inventing the wheel.  Aquaponics and hydroponics are proven technologies that can provide both food and income.

Consulting, teaching and other business interests have taken Nelson and Pade to over 20 countries around the world, including Spain, France, England, Italy, Greece, Cyprus, Fiji, Australia, Aruba, Jamaica, St. Kitts/Nevis, Antigua, Mexico, Honduras,  Panama and Costa Rica.
