"WHAT IS AQUAPONICS..?"
Simply defined ... even though there is much more to it ~ Aquaponics is a sustainable food production system that combines Aquaculture and Hydroponics in a closed system without the use of chemicals or waste water worries.
"WHY IT IS IMPORTANT TECHNOLOGY..?"
Our planet Earth is constantly changing, unfortunately for the worse due to the atrocities committed upon it by the human race. World wide deforestation of its irreplaceable rain forests, pollution pouring into the atmosphere from a multitude of sources ie: automobiles on the world's highways produced by auto industries that are only interested in the bottom line, factories and coal powered power plants pumping out air pollution as well as polluting the world's most precious commodity besides air, "WATER". Unlike this years clothing styles and automobiles, the human race can not produce more air or water than what exists.
In addition to the aforementioned, the human race is also responsible for the disappearance of our natural food supply found in Earth's rivers and oceans. With absolutely no concern for conservation, the human race continues to over fish our oceans in addition to unnecessary fishing such as Whaling (which is allowed by the governments of the world) without concern for the future of mankind or the forced extinction of the whale from this earth. Remember at one time there were even parakeets in the Carolinas in the America. They along with countless other speices are now gone forever due to mankinds selfindulgence and unconcern for this earth's enviroment.
Due to deforestation and over cultivation, the land masses of Earth are also changing; again due to our complete unconcern for what we do for the almighty buck. Deserts are growing and topsoil is being washed into our rivers and oceans by the metric ton daily.
Most countries of the middle east, Barbados, Haiti, and Israel, are just a few of the countries that either have a shortage of water or the water pollution is so rampant that clean freshwater is nonexistent. Right here in America there are a number of States that have water problems such as a shortage of water in California or water pollution as found in New Jersey.
"WHY YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND IT..!"
Food shortage is quickly becoming a global problem. Our problem here in America is the commercially grown crops produced by the big corporations. The chemicals used to grow the crops in addition to those sprayed on them and then used to treat them after they are harvested is causing them to become more and more toxic to the human body. Unlike that of the Cockroach, the human body does not adjust well to poisons. Instead we develop incurable cancers, heart diseases and other maladies that are all eventually fatal to us and the medical problems created are being produced faster than science can find cures for.
"THE ONLY VIABLE SOLUTION..!"
The solution for and the prevention of being systymatically posioned by commercial produce foods is to learn how to grow your own food right in your own back yard, apartment, garage, basement etc., "CHEMICAL FREE". Through use of the knowledge you can glean from the pages here at Wiki Aquaponics and "Do It Yourself Aquaponics" and its forum "Do It Yourself Aquaponics Forum" you can become self-sufficient and travel to the grocery store less and lower your food bills all at the same time.
