Murray HallamTraining and team development
The father of modern day Aquaponics is credited for the resurgence of the industry at the turn of the millennium. The Waterfarmers design is an offshoot of his early discoveries on parallel integration of growing systems (CHOP2). Murray has been a mentor since our inception and now actively designs the training program for Waterfarmers’ commercial projects.
