How do we keep feeding a growing population?
How to feed a world population expected to reach nearly 10 billion by 2050, how to contend with declining reserves of groundwater; and how to viably provide fresh food to an increasing population.
Obviously something must change and many other countries have already begun telling their citizens to independently grow their own fish and produce using aquaponics – in their own home or property. The reason is twofold- first, many countries can no longer supply their populations with enough food and aquaponics uses the least amount of this disappearing water supply.  Here in the US, the movement to locally produced food is expanding at a phenomenal rate.
Aquaponics uses the natural bacterial cycles to convert fish waste to plant nutrients. This is an environmentally friendly, natural food-growing method that harnesses the best attributes of aquaculture and hydroponics without the need to discard any water or filtrate or add chemical fertilizers. Aquaponic systems come in every size imaginable from a small home system to gigantic facilities.
