Toronto's first large scale aquaponics system

Following up on the Eastdale Collegiate article in Monday's blog post, it should be noted there were no medium scale aquaponics systems in Toronto until Foodshare's a few years back. So it's exciting to see Toronto will have its first large scale, commercial system in North York. It has been difficult, historically, to make an aquaponic endeavor profitable. Let's keep our eye on this one.

-Aquaponics is being used in Indiana not just to bring 45,000 pounds of food to the local community, but also to give jobs to young adults with autism.

-It's absolutely essential to have positive stories in mainstream media supporting green roofs and refuting the common myths. So I was happy to see Forbes' write up. The author could have also mentioned that the EPA estimates that repairing, replacing, and upgrading our aging water systems will cost at least $300 billion dollars, so green roofs and all green infrastructure, needs to be part of our plans as we plan for the future.
