Aquaponics Farming of the Future | Sci NC
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 ноя 2014
- Aquaponics is a system for farming fish and plants together in a mutually beneficial cycle. It solves two major problems facing society, the increasing scarcity of farmland and fresh water. The Lucky Clays farm in Norwood, NC is taking the science of aquaponics to an amazing new level.
I think aquaponics will play a critical role in the future of global food systems. A video by PBS called "Aquaponics farming saves water, but can it feed the country" also covers this topic. That video essentially came to the conclusion that aquaponics is a niche market for some crops, but that it's a long way off from producing at the level necessary to replace traditional agriculture. Personally, I don't see the goal to be the 100% replacement of traditional agriculture. These aquaponic systems can be constructed not just in place of traditional farming fields, but they fit in perfectly in vacant urban lots, at schools, in underutilized parking lots, or even on warehouse or other industrial building roofs. That means that this type of fresh produce production does not displace any of the relatively limited prime, traditional farming acreage, and also brings fresh produce closer to the people who actually consume it. Increasing the availability of local produce in a thriving, competitive urban environment would also help keep quality, quantity, and variety levels high while keeping prices relatively low. The science has been fairly clear about the fact that most people would benefit from a mostly plant based diet, so a shift to eating more local, inexpensive vegetable produce would naturally reduce the demand and dependence on the current mega monoculture farms that have been the farming trend for the last century. There will always be a need for soil grown grains due to the benefits of economics of scale, and given that they typically don't grow very well in this type of system, but the demand would lessen if every city were able to produce enough greens and vegetables to supply itself throughout the year. Demand on highly processed foods would diminish as well, and the tilapia and other fish from these systems create a key source of highly efficient feed to meat conversion ration compared to most traditionally farmed meats. I recently watched a documentary regarding the production of a balanced, 100% vegetable-based tilapia fish feed being made by some research farmers in the Philippines. All of the vegetation can be grown on sub-prime or marginal quality farmland (compared to the A1 traditional agriculture acres), so this can again take advantage of underutilized locations to generate value. In my opinion, cities and countries would be massively more stable with year-round, geographically diversified, local food generation. Does aquaponics alone replace all of traditional agriculture? No, but who said it needs to? I think this is a great business and an exciting time for the next generation of farmers to help bring fresh produce production back into the neighborhoods and hopefully end the less-than-stellar system of growing "eat fresh produce" hundreds or thousands of miles away and shipped using thousands of gallons of fossil fuels. Additionally, those varieties are often selected for attributes other than flavor, including such fundamentally useless attributes as uniform shape, size, and color, or ability to resist bruising during transit. I'll take the local stuff over that produce any day.
This is the absolute future of agriculture. Awesome set up.

Yes it is!
Hydroponic farming 1 acre how much reply me sir
Great video.. thanks for sharing
LOVE AQUAPONICS!! TRIED TO DO THIS BUT RAN OUT OF MONEY. I will try again, it is AWSOME and it is a safe way to grow healthy food. Win Win situation!! Thanks for the video, so excited to get started again.
I have found in my system that:
chelated iron
Epsom salt (magnesium and sulfur)
dehydrated kelp (micro nutes)
Mason's lime for calcium and PH control
Are needed to get healthy plants with full flavor range.
+Bob Barclay The system can provide that. At least the systems I know in my country (Brazil) the water passes through a expanded clay aggregate and other small solid rocks in order to retain larger particles before goes to the plant. Depending how you make your system (types of fish and plants) it can vary the rocks you use to provide minerals. And depending how you combine minerals you can provide other nutrients in association with micro organisms+ slime.
Some aquaponics use calcium rocks in the base of fish tank, some of them use specialized and cheap powder components that can provide minerals. At least in my country, in residencial and small aquaponic system, after a while it's a cheaper way to provide food.
Thanks- very interesting. I'd like to try it that way.

I discovered this video on Fast track grower - there's plenty more useful videos there that should help out
I am totally impressed with this system. I would like to know if a similar Aquaponics system can be set on approximately 1 acre of land. Kindly refer some links where I can do some training before setting up my farm in India.
Yes, great video. Water is plentiful around the world me thinks.
I'm curious as to whether traditional soil medium offers benefits to prevent bad bacterial growth, like ecoli, or is that not an issue in aquaponics?
I'm really amazed with this system, what I am curious to know is the comparation between the fish and the plants.
Good interview, I think I'll be using this Video link instead of trying to explain to people what Aquaponics.
Very Nice Tour! Thank you for sharing
Agricultural producers reported they were not able to plant crops on more than 20 million acres in 2019, according to a new report released by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). Flooding, planting dates, bad soil requiring tons of chemical fertilizers, pesticides like Roundup, varmints, millions in heavy diesel equipment, land cost, taxes, water waste, pollution runoff, chemtrails, etc. Efficient indoor grow operations is the future for so many reasons. Indoor operations can be located next to the usage instead of transported thousands of miles. Also, traditional farming has incredible amount of waste and must be harvested green to get it to market and prepared with waxes, irradiation, sprays etc to increase shelf life in desperate efforts to reduce waste due to spoilage. When comparing nutritional content and taste between indoor and outdoor factory farms, there is no comparison. The factory farm tastes like bleh for all the reasons above.
Amazing, how much does fish food cost, how many fish need to feed the vegetable, how long to start to make revenue?
Great efforts to help out the food crisis and have access to god food.
gotta have that god food
Great video! One of the first I've seen on aquaponics that actually looks like it can work commercially & actually make money (once the huge costs to set up are paid off of course) Comments section's actually got some interesting info in it too :) (if you ignore the spam for "Patlarny" & a few others
& "Patlarny" people, you know it's obvious you're spamming when there's lots of you copy & pasting the same thing right?
Thank you
we grow them in the water , i also do at home either very easy !! ;-)
Can you show me your picture ?
Thanks for sharing.Looking towards having a similar set up in Kenya.
Herald Loshi did you get a package?
Since the electricity in some country is expensive, if we use the solar to power the pump during the day and non at night will there be any effect of the fish life?
Hello, I'm just curious what mineral content is needed for the plants to grow and do they get all the required minerals/nutrients solely from the left over fish food and waste which is cycled through the system. Also how does the nutrients from the fish compare to that of naturally occurring nutrients in the soil or from composting and fertilizing with things like manure etc.. really appreciate any insight/ knowledge you can pass along (:
It looks like most of these commercial facilities use polystyrene foam sheets to support the net pots. It looks effective and cheap, but my understanding is that it leaches of carcinogens. Is this a concern for you? Are there any other viable options that don't carry such risks?
+michael98277 They do use polystyrene, but it is a closed form that is extruded and I use a 2" form that is painted with a latex paint on the top side that keeps it from breaking down. As far as nutrients, You have to put a small amount of chelated iron in on a limited basis. I put about a tablespoon in a 700 gallon system every month or so. Other than that, I put a cup or so of liquid seaweed in it at about the same rate. As long as you use a closed cell sheet and it is coated, I don't think you need worry about safety.
Most commercial applications I have seen use expanded polyethylene sheets. Polyethylene is very stable and completely safe for use around food, even when under direct UV light. So, you don't have to worry.
michael98277 coir
Valid question.
Could such a system also work for salt water environment (of course, with different fish and plant species that are fine with salt water)?
No, it would dry out the plants, plant cells must remain turgid and the salinity would prevent the roots from performing osmosis necessary for hydration. One would have to desalinate the water first.
Praying to have an opportunity to learn this kind of farming.
Great job!! However, Plants need more than Nitrates. Where would you get Phosphorus, Potassium and other Micronurtrients from? Would the waste from fish include these?
+ray huh Yes. It would still need chelated iron in quantities of 2mg/L as well as Potassium and Calcium (which are also used to increase the pH since the pH tends to lower because of the nitrification process)
Usually there are nutrient mixes that have all that stuff.
wow good luck vegies grower
Wow very impressed I would like to learn more about this type of farming.
They send the fish poop to the growbeds? Thats eventually gonna go bad unless they clean them out once in a while to remove the solids.
Yeah some systems have earthworms in them to deal with the solids.
The solids get filtered out before they reach the growbeds.
How much is this system for let's say 10,000 square feet? Also, whats the cost for electricity monthly?
professional system 750k to 1.5 m
It depends so much on pricing. Some people do it super cheap, some pay crazy amounts. And pump electricity is pretty cheap. If you have solar panels it's free, (after you recoup the investment for the panels) but there are a ton of cheap solar kits on the market these days so it's quite variable.
Is there a university:
that can offer a grant to people ..-to be obese because I am a builder -able to do this ..@ I need ..a grant to do it ..
& in doing so ..-
we will also create very mineralized foods ..-using certain shredded metals-.. copper mostly- .. that will then absorb it into their roots- and make it bio available .. !
Haven't you people heard about the Pruvian chinampa principle and the floating gardens of Burma principle and Professor John Todd's solar self-feeding fish ponds and "LIVING MACHINES"?
What type of rock did they use as media?
How much power is needed for a system this size? Are you electric or propane?
T L solar panels at the beginning of the video
its funny how peope are concerned about fiish poops... don' t forget fish are cold blooded animals, so it wil not be typically as dangerous as the poops of cow, pig, chicken, etc.... and its not the fish poo that fertilizes the plants, its the fish breething from the gills that produce amonia.
Is Aquaponic a Organic product? Is it have certification?
Fish poo is bad? But cow poo is ok?
Thanks for the video content! Apologies for the intrusion, I would love your opinion. Have you ever tried - Patlarny Gardening Expert Principle (Have a quick look on google cant remember the place now)? It is a smashing one off guide for learning how to expand your produce with the clever art of aquaponics minus the normal expense. Ive heard some decent things about it and my friend after a lifetime of fighting got amazing results with it.

I know right, this reporter is not thinking.
Uhhhhhh im not sure I would put a cow pie in the water feeding my plants.
Magnesium, silenium, potassium, etc.? That's in dirt and rocks so how about them?
amazing
New subriber
What do they feed the fish?
Awesome
you said some item can clean that bacteria what is that? i dont know why my fish always died i dont know my fault
Check what is lacking in your pond.... check for the Oxygen, alkalinity of water and the presence of planktoons or their availability of foods...
so nice
what shrimp did you use
Good day, I am in Zimbabwe and would like to kindly ask an engineer's diagram of the commercial system. Could someone help?
what does a plant like this cost to startup?
I recon 25,000
Where can I buy the Styrofoam sheets?
Lowes, home depot, wherever.
Salad leaves again? Yep thought so😆 Every time it’s salad. Salad leaves are not going to save us.
Amen
so how do you grow a potato

Bradley Todd your so handsome ❤️
🥰you should help me making me aquaponics for myself🥰🥰🥰🥰

99.5% water recycling? These plants don't transpire? Cool trick.
Yeah I have a system and I suffer a ton of evaporation, that's one thing. I say I recoup like 80% though.
Look up: solar still water purification. Get water from the air
The electric bill must be off the roof. Yes, No ?
🌷🌸🌹
How to you control pest organically?
There ARE NO pests. It's in an enclosed area.
Hi how much what I would invest to make $ 12.000 mouth
I have spent months researching into home aquaponics and discovered an awesome website at Keiths Ponics Site (google it if you're interested)
"yuck?" have you ever seen a farm?
Yeah.... this is the problem with people right now. Afraid to get their hands a little bit dirty to do something like farming.
apparently most people and especially children don't know that most of their food were slaughtered animals
comp0smentis you are looking at the future of farming. I grew up on a farm and am doing all I can to get back to a farm. Yuck goes to the city life as far as I'm concerned. Ya"ll can have the city. wild life and the farm is way more private, respectful and more free and healthy. With Aquaponics it is way more healthy and safe. WWG1WGA!!! PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR 2020! Q FOR 2024! MAGA!!
hey ,if anyone else wants to learn about aquaponics at home try Fast track grower (should be on google have a look ) ? Ive heard some super things about it and my partner got excellent results with it.
7:15
no rooms for fish to swim
Is it just me or does this guy look like a norwegian viking/metalhead from scandinavia lol
Farmer part
Acaponics are very very expensive. Hidroponics are more reliable and not expensive to make.
Great Video clip! Apologies for the intrusion, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you heard about - Patlarny Gardening Expert Principle (should be on google have a look)? It is an awesome one of a kind product for learning how to expand your produce with the clever art of aquaponics without the hard work. Ive heard some decent things about it and my buddy finally got great success with it.
Those roots look terrible and the Stocking density is too high. And yes I'm a jerk for pointing it out.
Thanks for the Video clip! Excuse me for chiming in, I would love your thoughts. Have you heard about - Patlarny Gardening Expert Principle (probably on Google)? It is a good one of a kind product for learning how to expand your produce with the clever art of aquaponics without the normal expense. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my close friend Aubrey got amazing success with it.
wonderful, except for those poor fish being imprisoned for life in those tiny dark tanks, never to be swim free, raised like the worst industrial chicken farms, before being slaughtered. there must be a more humaine way
Good point, but fish prefer dark environments, that is only natural for them.
sunlight penetration 300 meters of sea, that is why you have the corals and plant life in there on the rifs and coastal drops. never mind that, have you heard of freedom? you know, the type that you blacks always want. all creatures need to be free, at least as free as possible. raise the fish in an open pond or pool, let them swim and live, but pump out the water and use for irrigation. is that really so difficult to imagine, Shapeshifter?
