The combined challenges of population growth and climate change will require innovative, green solutions to food production. There are many ways to produce food around the world, depending on the environment.
Aquaponics is an important option to consider when thinking about increasing food production, while decreasing environmental impact. Watch year 10 student Jacob's 2-minute video for an interesting explanation of what aquaponics is and how it can make a green impact.
About the video
In Aquaponics: Tomorrow’s Farming Jacob explains how aquaponics is a form of fish farming. Aquaponics relies on the symbiotic relationship between fish, bacteria, and plants to create a holistic, sustainable food system. This is just one example of how the world can work towards greater production of food, while having less impact on the environment.
