Aquaponics Ebook Out Now

We are excited to announce that we have released a new ebook called “Aquaponics”. Written by John Mason and the staff of ACS Distance Education, the Aquaponics ebook provides readers with an insight into practising aquaponics and setting up their very own system.

Aquaponics involves growing fish or crustaceans in water; and then taking that water and using it to grow plants. It is an intensive way of producing food that can be used on a small scale at home, or on a large scale for commercial farming.

Aquaponic farming allows individual families to grow a much wider range of produce, in a much smaller space. They can provide the protein needed for their diet (from fish), as well as the vegetables and fruit they need. Aquaponic systems can be as small as a few cubic meters; or as large as many acres. They are an ideal way of improving productivity on a hobby farm; can be used by restaurants to produce the freshest produce on site, or established inside buildings, in big cities, for urban farming.

This book explores some of the more important considerations, and aims to inspire and inform you about the possibilities for aquaponics, in whatever circumstances you may consider using it.
