Right around the time a barrel of oil was around $150 USD I stumbled upon an article from an "expert" saying that the solution to resolve hunger was to give more money to poor countries in order to buy more tractors and more agrochemicals! So wrong! Then a thought popped into mind: " Do something! No matter what! Anything is better than nothing! ". Mission: increasing awareness of hydroponics and aquaponics as key tools in fighting hunger around the world.

Review: Site has a nice design. Easy navigation. Good explanations about aquaponics. Many pictures, some diagrams. However, when it is time to mention prices, you will have to contact them. I always have been uncomfortable with any companies where a potential buyer has to go to the trouble to ask prices. Either you are an open book or either you are not. Have a look at this site for example: http://www.friendlyaquaponics.com/, all prices are fully displayed! My advice: shop around and always ask a tons of questions.

By the year 2050, nearly 80% of the earth's population will reside in urban centers. Applying the most conservative estimates to current demographic trends, the human population will increase by about 3 billion people during the interim. An estimated 109 hectares of new land (about 20% more land than is represented by the country of Brazil) will be needed to grow enough food to feed them, if traditional farming practices continue as they are practiced today. At present, throughout the world, over 80% of the land that is suitable for raising crops is in use (sources: FAO and NASA). Historically, some 15% of that has been laid waste by poor management practices. What can be done to avoid this impending disaster?
Review: The vertical farming is one heck of a project! Could I say that this is the future of feeding the world? Overstatement!? I do not think so. Have a look at this fantastic site! "Fascinating" as would say Spock! The idea that one day we will have to use vertical skyscrappers to grow food in towns is not new, but this project beat them all! Each time I look at the designs my head begins to spin. A must see! Information value: rated 5 Design: rated 5 Roger pilon, Editor

Review: There are not so many suppliers in aquaponics systems on the Net. I admire thts company because they will make more and more popular aquaponics around the world. how?

Hello everyone! How I got into hydroponics is a long story...let's just say that it involves a lot of tedious farm work as a child, unsuccessful 'dirt' gardens of my own and a near electrocution from a semi-submersible hydroponic pump. I've learned that hydroponic gardening is the only way to garden for me and I've been working at it for several years now. I've built ebb/flow, nft, Mittleider, wick and passive systems and I'm always on the lookout for the easiest and most efficient means of hydroponic gardening...If you have questions, I would be more than happy to answer them...
