Aquaponics

Aquaponics is a system where the fish and plants rely on each other to survive. The plants sit on the top so the fish can feed of their nutriants and the fish will help the plants grow instead of having to use any fertilizer. Currently we have a small aquaponics system, but if people have the space they can make a large one.

Aquaponics is important because now not as much water is needed to grow plants. Which is very important because our planets water source is only 3% fresh water and 2% of that is trapped in glaciers so we only have acces to 1%, therefore conserving water in any way is very good. Not to mention now the chemicals that are used to grow plants are going into the sewers than into your water supply. Also instead of traditional farming where you have to wait for the right season aquaponics can be done at anytime anywhere. Which is pretty convientent to us since instead of having to rely on a big business to do it we can participate in our own classroom.
