Wow, with so much aquaponics news I should just start an aquaponics only blog!
We know that Hollywood has it's share of green celebrities, you can add Shia LeBeouf to the list. Movements can often benefit from a well-known spokesperson, and it looks like he's an early candidate for Hollywood's king of aquaponics.
-Last week first indoor farm in Chicago was licensed, an aquaponics set up which has received tremendous support from Silicon Valley.
-For most people learning the art of aquaponics means starting your own system. If you have time to spare and want to learn while doing some good, there are volunteer opportunities in Haiti to develop a community education system which could be scaled down for homes and businesses.
-It's great to get an update on the aquaponics project at the Zayed Higher Agricultural Centre for Development and Rehabilitation in Abu Dhabi. It's the biggest in the world and they are clearly not just mucking about. The staff thought that they would be ready to start selling in May...it looks like they weren't far off and have already produced 10 tonnes (11 tons) of fish!
-Compared to the aquaponics project in Abu Dhabi it seems almost everything else is small. But Greenville, South Carolina has its own "small, but big" aquaponics project up, running and helping make the community more food secure.
