Amber Monroe is the Owner and Founder of Ísponica. In this episode we explore what lead her from the United States to start her Aquaponics company in Iceland.
Amber's path, starting from her studies on lumpfish at Hólar University, has led her from a Hólar barn basement to a unique aquaponics setup in a warehouse in Hofsós, overlooking the stunning fjord of Skagafjörður.
She shares her insights on rural tourism, Icelandic food production, and the controversial topic of salmon fish farms.
Discover why she chose Hofsós, why aquaponics is pivotal to her vision, and how it all ties into the future of "Agri-Tourism"
