RE: ECHO | Solutions for Truly Ending World Hunger (Hint It's Not MONOCROPS OR GMOS), Practical Ideas for Human Evolution & Abundant, Creative Living!!!

They have everything under the sun, but no aquaponics? When you got to tilapia I thought you would get there... lol! To my way of seeing things, AP is THE answer for global hunger. It can be done indoors, year round, weather will not destroy crops, and you have meat and veggies all in one system! (Note my screen name... I am "all about" AP!)

I didn't see any aquaponic system, but thanks for bringing that point up! Perhaps due to their focus of rural communities some of the supplies needed may not be accessible??? The duck/tilapia system was passive and fairly simple, though I'm sure with a few tweaks it could certainly yield more food. I agree in the efficiency of AP and look forward to delving into in in the near future.

We had a system going for a few years, but when we moved out here we could not get our infrastructure in fast enough and lost our fish. But that duck / tilapia arrangement is nearly there! I was really surprised they did not have at least a few plants in the mix!

too bad about losing the fish. I too was surprised they didn't crop lotus or arrowroot, watercress or water chestnut.

Yeah, that's what I am talking about! Slackers... LOL!
