Engineering the Future of Climate-Resilient Agriculture.

ESA Organics is a multi-disciplinary agrotech holding company. Through advanced automation, circular design, and industrial engineering, we build and scale high-yield, zero-waste food production systems — decoupling agriculture from climate volatility, resource depletion, and fragile logistics.

Executive overview · The mission

The modern food supply chain is facing unprecedented volatility.

Traditional agriculture is constrained by rapid climate shifts, resource depletion, and fragile logistics. ESA Organics addresses these systemic vulnerabilities at the source. We design, manufacture, and operate fully integrated, closed-loop agro-ecosystems that decouple high-yield food production from environmental instability.

Proprietary core pillars

Three technical pillars set our infrastructure apart.

Not just another vertical farm or hydroponic setup. Each pillar represents in-house R&D that took years to develop and isn't commercially available anywhere else.

Pillar I

The Intelligent Aquaponics System (I.A.S.)

A highly synchronized, data-driven ecosystem combining precision aquaculture and hydroponics. The system maximizes total biomass output while utilizing a fraction of the water of traditional agriculture — governed by real-time sensor arrays and a Raspberry Pi 5 edge controller. Five years of in-house R&D; not commercially available anywhere else.

Pillar II

Zero-Waste Circular Economy

We engineer out the concept of waste. On-site anaerobic digestion converts roots and fish solids into methane (electricity), CO₂ (plant enrichment), and liquid/solid organic fertilizer. Commercial solar arrays close the loop on grid dependency. Zero runoff, zero discharge.

Pillar III

Turnkey STEM Infrastructure

A scalable B2B + institutional model. Ag-Tech Manufacturing packages the commercial technology into modular, school-ready infrastructure paired with a rigorous, standards-aligned STEM curriculum — establishing early market presence, building workforce, and creating recurring revenue.

Our story

Engineering the future of food.

Growing up on a farm, you develop an intuitive understanding of the natural world — how plants thrive, how animals behave under proper care, the undeniable health benefits of food grown naturally. That connection leaves an indelible mark on you.

For two decades the headlines told a different story. Pesticide crises. Fertilizer runoff polluting waterways. Continuous pathogen recalls. Yosvany “Alex” Acosta — an engineer by trade with 25+ years in construction and infrastructure including 11 as President of Paar Contractors — decided to apply his engineering background to one of the most critical challenges of our time: food security through resource-efficient technology.

The first breakthrough was a proprietary filtration system that delivers not just basic nitrates but a comprehensive spectrum of organic nutrients and micronutrients — the Intelligent Aquaponics System (I.A.S.). The second was hydrodynamic: a 39 GPM heavy-rain wobbler design for the TS40 / TS60 vertical towers that forces O₂ and CO₂ directly into the root zone, producing canopies up to 70% larger than the root mass and bringing a head of lettuce from seed to harvest in under 35 days (vs. 48–52 in traditional field farming).

Today the ecosystem includes fish hatcheries, automated germination, scalable vertical cultivation, and high-density baby-leaf production — all engineered and manufactured in-house through Ag-Tech Manufacturing, operated at commercial volume through Organic Aqua Fresh, and delivered into K-12 classrooms through STEM Turnkey. One company. One Triple Bottom Line: People · Planet · Profit.

A circular model

Three operating brands. One ecosystem.

Manufacturing builds the equipment. The Miami production facility runs it at commercial volume and proves the unit economics — expanding to 11,000 sq ft in Q4 2026, with a second Delray Beach site under construction. The STEM program installs the same technology in schools, training the next generation of operators who, in turn, drive demand for more manufacturing.

Engineering Sustainability, Pioneering Closed-Loop AgroTech

The operating brands

One holding company. Three operating channels.

ESA Organics maintains 100% ownership and control over its subsidiaries — eliminating the typical AgTech split between IP owners and operators, and dramatically reducing CapEx on every new commercial deployment.

Engineering arm

Ag Tech Manufacturing

100%-owned engineering + infrastructure division. Designs and builds the IAS1200, TS40/TS60 vertical towers, GS6/GS8 germination chambers, HGS4/6/8 racks, Aqua-60 hatchery, Aqua-5000 nursery — plus the automation software running them.

Commercial arm

Organic Aqua Fresh, Inc.

100%-owned commercial production + consumer-facing arm. Operates the Miami production facility (19425 SW 188th St) — currently 3,000 sq ft, expanding to 11,000 sq ft by Q4 2026; a second Delray Beach facility is under construction (operational Q1 2027). Supplies premium tilapia + organic produce to retailers and food service under the Society Greens, Farmed Organic, and Gusto Greens brands.

For investors

An ecosystem, not a portfolio.

We're not building a single farm or a single school program. We're building the regional food-system of the future — and the company that owns the IP, the operations, and the workforce pipeline that powers it.
