The technology to deliver sustainable plant-based protein
Pontus technologies deliver new sources of plant protein that is grown in a network of bio-secure indoor aquaponic farms using environmentally sustainable techniques.
Higher levels of protein, always certified organic
Water lentils are a great source of pure plant protein. High in antioxidants, dietary fibre, as well as minerals and vitamins including: Potassium, Iron, Calcium, Vitamin E, Vitamin A, Omega Fatty Acids, Riboflavin, and Folate. Vegan, gluten-free, and non-GMO. We will strive to meet and exceed the Health Canada Manufacturing Guidance for Natural and non prescription products.
Pontus uses 95% less water than field-based agriculture
Agriculture uses 70% of the world’s fresh water supply and by 2030, the demand is expected to exceed supply by 40% *. In particular, the production of traditional sources of protein such as meat takes 20,000 litres of water to produce just one kilogram*. Clearly it is time to look at alternative sources of protein that are sustainable.

Our CEVAS™ operated farms
Closed Environment Vertical Aquaponics System or CEVAS™ utilizes sophisticated control technologies and collects thousands of data points every minute which are fed into our secure big data warehouse. Using machine learning and AI (artificial intelligence), critical farm operating systems are automatically controlled.
For those who value what they feed their bodies, and what we feed the earth – We provide a healthy and responsible solution.
A growing need for plant-based alternatives
More consumers around the world are turning to plant-based diets as the healthier and more sustainable lifestyle option. Our vision is to forge a new approach to agriculture by creating state-of-the-art closed environment bio-secure farms that synergistically combine Hydroponics (plants grown in water) with Aquaculture (fish farming). This new method of farming is called Aquaponics.
