Commercial food production can affect the nutritional quality of vegetables and fish, and some farming practices use pesticides. Additionally, food often travels long distances before reaching our plates. Growing your own food is one way to have greater control over freshness and reduce exposure to certain chemicals, although busy modern lives can make it difficult to nurture your own garden.
Aquaponics is a simple, self-sustaining ecosystem made up of fish, bacteria, and plants that lets you grow fresh, home-grown food in your own backyard without a huge investment of time. The Introduction to Aquaponics Diploma Course explains how.
