Aquaponics is a relatively new approach to food production that cultivates fish and plants in a symbiotic relationship. The OrganicNation.tv crew traveled to Flanagan, Illinois where Myles Harston of AquaRanch Industries has been working with aquaponics 1992. At his innovative facility, Myles grows tilapia and a wide variety of organic vegetables including lettuce, kale, chard, herbs, tomatoes, and hot peppers.

Aquaponic systems are a very efficient way of using the solar energy, the decomposition of feeding matter from fish farming, the natural process in which the plants transform nutrients into clean and reusable water and the technology of hydroponic systems. Regular farming is nearly impossible in condense cities where small backyards, roof tops and balconies are the only place to grow food. You can transform growing your vegetables and fish from a hobby into a self-sufficient cycle that will give you vitamins, minerals, protein, fiber and many essential chemicals that the body needs. Modern living comes with a lot of technologies that are changing our life and we have to get the best of it and preserve or enrich our lives and the prolongation of our existence. So take the aquaculture or fish farming principles, the hydroponic technologies, modern living and its small spaces and some style and put them to work for you, the next time you see growing beds, fish tanks, vegetables and the sun you will be thinking about aquaponic systems. To maximize the amount of production in your Aquaponic system set up, I recommend you to build vertical growing towers, this method uses literally .25 square feet of space and yet you can grow 5, 8, 12 or more plants at the same time. One time project that will serve you for the life of the system (more than a lifetime). Follow safety measures, protect your hands and keep flammable materials away, protect your ayes when cutting and remove any extra plastic left after the cuts. enjoy the video and subscribe for more.

Aquaponics is a closed-loop system that begins with fish providing nutrients for farmed vegetables via their poop. Kevin Childerley takes us on a tour of the Santa Barbara Aquaponics lab he co-founded with Randy Turner, a fish Biologist with extensive experience in captive aquatic system management. Together they have built a living lab right on top of a hillside parking lot. The potential is enormous!

This is the VOA Special English Education Report, from http://voaspecialenglish.com | http://facebook.com/voalearningenglish There are schools of fish, and there are schools for fishermen. The Cod Academy is a year-long program in Maine, one of the New England states in the American Northeast. The academy is new. The idea is to train current or former ocean-going fishermen to become fish farmers. Sebastian Belle is director of the Maine Aquaculture Association. That group launched the Cod Academy with the University of Maine and other partners. Mr. Belle says the academy teaches all about managing a floating farm. "One of the things we've been teaching the students is how to feed the fish and not overfeed the fish," he says. "You want to give them enough feed, and not waste any."The students practice at eight fish pens about a kilometer and a half from shore. These circular pens are fifty meters wide and covered with netting to keep out seabirds. Each one holds as many as fifty thousand cod. A partner in the academy, Great Bay Aquaculture of New Hampshire, operates this fish farm. Most of the cod will become someone's meal somewhere in the world. Bill Thompson is fifty-nine years old. He served in the Navy and worked as a commercial fisherman. He says the Cod Academy made him a believer in fish farming. "Even if the wild stocks came back to their fullest capacity, they still wouldn't be able to feed the world. So I think this is the way of the future."He and his son were among the first four students who graduated in August. Like any business, fish farming has financial risks. Program director Sebastian Belle says students have to develop a marketing and business plan before they can graduate. Graduates can receive financial assistance from the Maine Aquaculture Association to start their own cod farm. But they will be expected to raise about half the money toward any project.Mr. Belle says the Cod Academy is based on programs to retrain displaced herring and tuna fishermen in Norway and Japan. These government-sponsored programs started more than thirty years ago. He says "It's never been done before in America and we're trying to see if it's a model that has some potential. " Maine had just one commercial cod farm when the students graduated last month, but Mr. Belle hopes things will change. "It's a native fish to Maine. The growing conditions in Maine are very good for cod, and it's kind of a natural choice for us as a state." For VOA Special English, I'm Alex Villarreal.

Scott Henley wanted to prove he could turn the backyard of his modest Pasadena (Los Angeles) home into a working farm. To turn his 8000-square-foot backyard into a productive farm, Henley turned to aquaponics- a combination of aquaculture (fish farming) and hydroponics: "This is a very efficient way to grow things in a small space. And it also produces a protein source." He farms tilapia because they breed fast. The fish waste is broken down in the water by naturally-occurring bacteria into nitrate. The plants take up the nitrates as food and the now-cleaned water is fed back to the fish and the process begins again. The only inputs are sunlight and fish food. It's an inherently organic system because any pesticides would upset the natural balance of the small ecosystem. After less tha 2 years in operation (he started in the summer of 2012), he- through Whisper Farms- now sells enough produce to restaurants, CSAs and at the local (Altadena) farmer's market- to cover all costs and produce a small profit. His "experiment" is still not productive enough to create a salary, but he hopes that will change once he's able to sell his fish and create more of a cooperative setup with other farms (to reduce the permitting costs for selling at farmers' markets).

Black caviar is a luxurious delicacy for the most exquisite tastes - and yet it could soon become more affordable after Russian scientists discovered a technique to harvest the eggs without killing the sturgeon. If applied, it might bring back the days when families could enjoy caviar without breaking the bank. RT on Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/RTnews RT on Twitter: http://twitter.com/RT_com

Read it here: http://www.jandjacres.net/2013/12/23/garden-preparation/ Here in East-Central Mississippi it is already time to start thinking about our next planting season! A week or so ago I asked a group on Facebook if they thought I could plant another crop of Turnips, and they advised not to. However, I was also told that in January I should be planting English Peas and Potatoes! So, it is off to the planning board! Winter Garden Some things have managed to live and grow through the cold. Our own Black Seeded Simpson Lettuces (grown from our own seed we harvested this last summer) are growing extremely slowly, but are growing. One of the Red Romaine Lettuces is still growing as well. The Bunching Onion is doing just fine too - plump for the eating, but not growing any. I hope that they might bolt in spring so we can save some seed from them! I also have another plant growing - though of course my previously poor record keeping has my scratching my head. I think it is a cabbage, but darn if I know! Vegetable Garden Preparation I spent some time pulling out the old plants and raking the wood chips around in order to pull out some weeds. The wood chips seem well decomposed as there is only a light covering of visible wood chips any longer. We will now start laying down more rabbit manure over the next month to help build the nutrients back up before we sow the seeds. We are also going to plant some potatoes, but those will be planted in a large tub. I was so frustrated with the grubs getting to our potatoes last year that I want to grow them in a more controlled environment this year. Not using any insecticides or herbicides can be daunting, but it is worth it. Vegetable Garden Planning I really want a larger garden this year, but for now it is time to focus on the next plantings. Rabbit manure needs to be laid, wood needs to be chipped and spread. But most importantly a trellis of some sort needs to be built for the peas to grow on. Thankfully we are already in a nice sunny area that runs from East to West, so there should not be any problems with location. The hardest thing for me is to remain focused on this season of growing and not try to build a trellis big enough to feed the county. We still plan to use wood chips as a covering, Back to Eden style. So stay tuned for the 2014 version of our garden! (And cross your fingers that come the end of the season our fruit trees decide to give us a little fruit for the first time as well!)

so what, exactly, is in your food? how about crushed beetle fetuses? beaver anal glands? sound appetizing? watch the sixth of a series of small nuggets about veganism. be sure to subscribe so you don't miss out on the next nugget! For more info, helpful links, and a free pamphlet download: http://www.bitesizevegan.com/ this vid in a "nugget-shell": we don't always know what the ingredients in our food really are (nor how to pronounce them)! here we take a look inside, starting with what our food animals eat. this wonderful array of ingredients includes, but is not limited to, roadkill, dead pets, diseased animals, rejected parts, and poop. then there is the poop actually in your food. the majority of beef contains feces, now termed a "cosmetic blemish" and allowed by the USDA. poultry in the US particularly, is bloated with "fecal soup," basically shit-contaminated water absorbed by the bird carcasses as they cool in a massive tank. then there are the drugs: antibiotics, steroids, growth hormones, etc. and how about the pus in milk? rethinking that mustache? we also look into natural and artificial flavors and additives, both of which are nowhere near "natural." this is where we find our crushed beetle fetuses, ammoniated beef (pink slime), bacteriaphages, beaver anal glands (castoreum) and more! and ps- this video totally was under 5 minutes in iMovie. i don't know what youtube's deal is ;)
