You probably can build the garden that will not need weeding, tilling or
cultivating, the spreading of fertilizer or garden compost, and no watering
or irrigating; all while your plants generate up to 10 x the amount of
fresh vegetables than plants from a dirt garden. ?
Great idea! ?

My friend is doing something similar to this in edmonton ?
??? the greenist green there is should be in your own back yard
+ on your roof top
= if Carbon neutral is what you wish to become?
How many people could be fed with that? I mean, you will nevery only eat
vegetable and fish, but if you would would that container in the video be
enough for one or two persons?
Just put a cow in there ! 8p do you really NEED grains?
What about fish allergies? Is there any data about allergens contamination?
I don’t think it have been considered… I think there is already a known
solution “equivalent” and more efficient than this : the Rhizobium…

yea i was thinking how great it would be to have the fish reproduce and to
be able to eat them as well
In that case they may be able to live and still be safe to eat but they
will probably will not be able to reproduce and the stocks will need to be
replenished at destination.
Fish probably deal with radiation as well as people! 🙂
GrowUp will be harvesting their fish too! 🙂
Hydroponics have existed now for many years, the cost savings of this
modified and updated technology will prove to be essential for the future.
The small home type farm is becoming less and less attractive and has no
replacement at this time except imports from Mexico. This will speed
forward substantially this new technology. Do not be surprised to see it
common place as soon as within the next decade. Moonpie
Systems like this could really make a difference in feeding not only city
people but water shortages in a rural area’s as well
Really neat. I never seen an aquaponic farm before. I have to agree with
Kate. There is almost never 1 solution for a problem but this certainly
helps with making the environment a bit greener. Now if a large scale
aquaponic farm was constructed in an heavy urban area that would be quite
impressive. I can see aquaponics becoming a larger industry in the near
future.
Thanks for this, but with over 25 years of professional video experience
(from the BBC downwards), I am well aware of microphone placement. Indeed,
I take great pride in the sound on my videos. This was, however, a very
rapid and logistically-difficult shoot in a cramped location, and my usual
tip clip mics were not a possibity. There was also a lot of background
noise (planes, a school playground and water pumps!), and hence I had to
make compromises. An in-shot mic is not common on the news!
energy can be electricity but it also comes in allot of other forms (nice
try at fallacious logic) But in general yes Nasa can’t move forward because
we haven’t enough energy, both for the actual exploring and for our society
to grow excess-wealth that we can spend on the logistics of exploring.
Simple: More energy = more money to pay for space exploration; also more
energy = spaceships get faster and can travel further

The obvious advantages of creating more jobs of course is that more money
is pushed into our economy which in turn helps people keep their jobs for
longer and feed their family’s for longer. The big question is why
companies/people don’t realise this? Its a real shame and bothers me so much
The GrowUp box shown here is a test-bed for much larger, potentially
vertical urban farms for feeding cities in the future. At present food
ofter travels 1,500 miles to the plate, with (in developed nations) each
calorie consumed burning up 10 calories of petroleum. Post Peak Oil, such a
mass transportation food supply system will not be possible.
This is a silly idea. Cities are place with very high population density.
Typically they need large enlightened agricultural surfaces to feed this
population. That’s why those surfaces are used out of the city: in the
countryside. Because that’s where the surface is. Can you find that surface
in the city itself?? I very much doubt so. Maybe if you build you aquaponic
units vertically, but then those buildings would have to be very high, thus
very expensive, if only technically possible.
