Considering Goals. Octopot Education:
As we mentioned in our previous post on sustainability goals, diversity in what you're able to produce from your grow system can help secure your long term success and resiliency.  Will your grow system be a net producer or consumer?  Without considering sustainability your grow can quickly become an expensive hobby!  Adding value and maximizing connections with various elements can ensure your grow isn't merely using up resources.
We have seen how markets can change at the drop of a hat.  With other grow systems the question arises, "How easily can you switch over to growing other products if need be?"  Diversification and the ability to pivot is a smart way to cultivate resiliency.  Octopot grow systems promote connections to numerous elements that may integrate with your life.   Also it is important to consider the benefits these various elements present as you imagine the bigger picture around your goals.  The value-add components of whatever you choose to grow in your Octopots can help keep you in abundant production.

Goals - Eco/Sustainability

Considering Goals. Octopot Education:
So what if you already know you want to grow your own food, herbs, or medicine, but sustainability and ecological impact on the earth is an important consideration?  Care of the earth, care of people, and managing excess are excellent ethical goals to consider even for your grow. 
In order for a system to be sustainable it needs to have connections to at least a few different elements in the larger picture.  Your grow system shouldn't be just a, "one trick pony."  Octopots don't require electricity to operate and hence use less energy.  They are reusable.  The dual root zone hybrid system also uses less water overall.  There's no irrigation runoff and thus a net reduction in the use of grow inputs (nutrients) and less pollution for the planet compared to other grow systems.
In addition to greater water conservation, growing in Octopots lends to greater connectivity with other diverse elements such as food resiliency.  Growing your own food with Octopots can provide better quality nutrient dense food along with the knowledge that zero food miles are attached to the food you eat.
Whatever your goals, be they local healthy food, less energy inputs, or conservation of your time and the resources of the planet, rest assured Octopots align with your ecological and sustainability values.
