More than anything I love the infographics on this website about urban agriculture. The argument for it has been made many times, but what we have seen in the industry is a lack of knowledge about how to make a good living doing it. The further North you go, the more energy costs become an issue. The same goes for aquaponics. There are a million new systems out there...but how do you run a big one profitably?
In Alabama there's a suggestion for tackling this problem. Using waste is a good thing, but there are better ideas. Has anyone done a life cycle or cradle-to-grave analysis in the aquaponics or broader urban agriculture industry yet?
