Who We Are

Meeting the needs of others

Our Mission

To equip and educate orphanages and children’s homes in Integrated Aquaculture technology, providing a sustainable solution to meet their need for food security.

Our Mission

Our History

Damon Arthur and Dr. Richard Palmer started Targeted Aquaponic Growth (TAG) to meet the needs of hungry children across the globe. Our vision is to use Integrated Aquaculture to help orphanages and children’s homes have access to a consistent source of nutritious food. It’s Dr. Palmer and Damon’s heart for others that makes TAG what it is today.

We believe that every child should consistently have access to nutritious, life-giving food. Using modern fish farming technology, we believe that we can help fulfill these nutritional needs while educating them on how to create their own sustainable, reliable food source.
