The commercialisation of food production has led to vegetables and fish not reaching their maximum nutritional potential before they are harvested. Pesticides and other carcinogens are often used in their production and foods can travel long distances before reaching our plates. We can avoid this by growing our own, but with busy, modern lives it can be difficult to find the time to nurture our own foods to ensure our meals are fresh, nutrient-rich and chemical-free.
Aquaponics is a simple, self-sustainable ecosystem composed of fish, bacteria and plants that allows you to grow healthy, nutritious food in your own backyard without a huge investment of time. The Introduction to Aquaponics Diploma Course explains how.
