It's no wonder the idea of aquaponics took off so quickly and spread like wildfire. People are raising aquaponic gardens in backyards, greenhouses, garages and even their basements! The cost of a system as I've demonstrated in earlier posts can be astronomical... unless you build the system yourself! Enough people have done this to not doubt that this is possible.
I've read articles that state that by 2050, there won't be enough food to feed the world. Well, obviously, if we all keep living unsustainable lifestyles, then yes, this could happen. This is only part of the reason why government attacks on gardeners and farmers seem so foolish. Food is a commodity that we never should take for granted, now more than ever. With aquaponics, again, you could grow food in your garage or your basement and no one has to know except you. You decrease the risk of health department attacks and you have food year round right in your own house.
With aquaponic systems you could be free from the grocery store for very long periods of time. This is why there are many who feel that this idea could feed the world. If we all knew how to do this, there is no reason to fear these predictions of starvation in the near future.
