RAS represents the "blue revolution." Because it uses so little water and occupies a small footprint, it can be placed anywhere. This reduces the carbon footprint of "food miles" by growing Atlantic Salmon in the Midwest or Tilapia in the city center. It protects wild oceans from pollution and prevents farmed fish from escaping into the wild.

The water, now cleaner than when it started, is pumped back into the fish tanks. This cycle repeats endlessly, with some systems recycling over 99% of their total volume daily. The Human Element RAS represents the "blue revolution
