The BasicsAquaculture is a relatively new industry; it has only been around in western states in the last 30-40 years. Since the 1970's, global aquaculture production has been growing rapidly at a rate of about 9% per year. Today, aquaculture produces at least 50% of the world's seafood and will likely continue to grow its production into the foreseeable future as the demand for fish protein increases and the ability of wild fish stocks to meet the demand continues to dwindle due to overfishing and insufficient regulation. In fact, aquaculture is now the fastest growing form of food production on the planet. -- In 2006 51.7 million tonnes of aquatic animals worth USD 78.8 billion were produced globally |

Ever thought of building a green house?Or maybe even a Green City?
By doing one of these two things, not only would you be environmentally aware but YOU COULD HAVE YOUR VERY OWN AQUACULTURE FARM!!! Check out the video below, in it you will get to explore one of Mike Reynolds "green-houses ". He has this hose that is completely self-reliant where he has his own tropical forest and a pond full of tilapia. Are you interested on building your own tilapia farm? Check out this page, where tilapia are sold and there are also instructions on how to start up your own farm to have in your back yard. |
The lillyPadInventions and innovative Ideas, like these seem to be in our future. Many of the floating cities are new designs that will truly bring nature and man together. While these ideas are further along the road, Richard Register has the idea to change the world little by little conquering the large cities. In his book Ecocities Register explores the idea of creating self-sufficient cities. His idea stems from the fact that right now, even though our cities are densely populated, we are very spread out. Register argues that the way to make a perfect city is to move everything closer together and have more local food courses readily available. Hint hint! Aquaculture.
