Are you interested in sustainable food production methods? Have you heard about aquaponics? If not, you’re in for a treat! Aquaponics can revolutionize the way we grow our food by combining aquaculture and hydroponics — welcome to the world of aquaponics!

  • Creating a small aquaponics system at home can maintain both plants and fish in an integrated system.
    Using inexpensive and readily available materials such as an aboveground swimming pool you can get fresh fish from your back yard.
  • Aquaponic gardening is 4 to 6 times more productive on a square-foot basis than soil-based gardening.
  • The key to growing fish for food, or any fish for that matter, in aquaponics is to consider what stresses the fish in a captive environment, and lessening, or eliminating, it.
