Eauzons!

What Eauzons! does

Eauzons! is a privately-held French aquaponic farming company founded circa 2019-2020 and headquartered in Aux-Aussat, Gers (Occitanie). The company operates a closed-loop production system that combines aquaculture (rainbow trout farming) with hydroponic vegetable cultivation, in which fish waste is converted by bacteria into nitrates that feed the plants and the plants filter and return clean water to the fish. The company runs two facilities: a 2,000 m² pilot R&D, training, and innovation farm in Aux-Aussat (operational for 5 years, producing 6 tonnes of fish and 3 tonnes of vegetables per year), and a 10,000 m² commercial-scale farm in Lescar (Pyrénées-Atlantiques) designed to produce 100 tonnes of fish and 45 tonnes of vegetables per year.

Eauzons! sells its trout and vegetables to two main customer segments: professionals in food service (restaurants, hotels, food retail) and individual consumers/families, primarily through local resellers and short distribution circuits in the Occitanie and Nouvelle-Aquitaine regions of southwestern France. The company also offers a co-investment product allowing external investors to participate in the financing of aquaponic farm development, which is positioned as a sustainable and profitable agricultural investment concept at scale. The go-to-market is dual B2B and B2C, relying heavily on organic social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube) and a direct-to-customer website rather than paid digital acquisition.

The company's competitive positioning emphasizes ultra-fresh local production, year-round capability, reduced water usage versus traditional agriculture, no chemical pesticides, and full traceability. It holds six regional French certifications and quality labels (Gault & Millau, Excellence Gers, Table Gers, Truite Aquaculture Française, Poisson Aquaculture Française, Sud de France). With 10 employees and a single commercial-scale site, Eauzons! remains an early-stage operator, with the Lescar farm representing its primary platform for revenue scaling and the co-investment offering serving as a parallel capital formation channel.

Regional players

• Sky Greens: Singapore-based commercial vertical farming company. Comparable in producing fresh vegetables via soilless cultivation at scale, but does not include the aquaculture component that distinguishes Eauzons.

Broad incumbents

• Infarm: European vertical-farming leader selling fresh produce to urban retailers. Not a direct aquaponics operator, but competes with Eauzons' vegetable line for retailer shelf space and HORECA accounts in the 'local sustainable produce' category.

Direct peers

• Les Nouvelles Fermes: French company developing aquaponic farms producing fish and vegetables locally. Comparable to Eauzons in combining aquaculture with hydroponics, urban/rural siting, and emphasis on food sovereignty and short distribution circuits.
• Agriloops: French aquaponics startup combining aquaculture (shrimp) with hydroponic crops in a closed-loop system. Direct peer to Eauzons in the French aquaponics category, with a similar technology stack and sustainability-led positioning.
• ECF Farmsystems: German aquaponics operator building commercial-scale closed-loop farms in Europe. Direct competitor in the European commercial aquaponics market with overlapping product (fish + vegetables) and B2B/B2C distribution model.
• Superior Fresh: US-based commercial aquaponics operator producing salmon and leafy greens in a closed-loop system. Direct international peer in commercial-scale aquaponics with similar fish + vegetable co-production model.
• Truites de l'Auxois: Established French trout farming and processing company. Direct competitor in the trout product category that Eauzons targets, with deeper traditional aquaculture expertise and broader French distribution.

Emerging players

• Jungle (formerly Jungle Cactus): French vertical farming startup producing herbs and microgreens for retailers and chefs. Adjacent competitor in the French local, sustainable produce category that Eauzons serves, but without the aquaculture component.
• UrbanFarmers: Dutch/Swiss-origin aquaponics and rooftop farming company focused on urban food production. Similar closed-loop aquaponics approach with comparable end markets (local restaurants, retailers, consumers).
• Ferme d'Avenir: French organization promoting and operating agroecological and aquaponic pilot farms. Comparable to Eauzons in French aquaponic farming and training activities, with a more R&D and educational orientation.
