I didn't see any aquaponic system, but thanks for bringing that point up! Perhaps due to their focus of rural communities some of the supplies needed may not be accessible??? The duck/tilapia system was passive and fairly simple, though I'm sure with a few tweaks it could certainly yield more food. I agree in the efficiency of AP and look forward to delving into in in the near future.

Sort:  

We had a system going for a few years, but when we moved out here we could not get our infrastructure in fast enough and lost our fish. But that duck / tilapia arrangement is nearly there! I was really surprised they did not have at least a few plants in the mix!

too bad about losing the fish. I too was surprised they didn't crop lotus or arrowroot, watercress or water chestnut.

Yeah, that's what I am talking about! Slackers... LOL!
