  11. What to do?

  12. Dubai, UAE An example of what human energy can accomplish. Imagine this kind of energy applied to feeding the human race.

  13. Liwa Desert, outside Dubai

  14. Why Aquaponics?? • Food production needs to become increasingly energy efficient and move away from oil. Aquaponics and hydroponics are the only food production methods we know that use electricity, which can be produced from alternate energy sources. • Food production needs to become increasingly water-efficient and move towards methods such as aquaponics and hydroponics (in water-scarce areas) • Food production in Hawaii needs to be distributed: as well as large producers, having many small food producers will give us better food security. • Aquaponics is scalable and is perfect for small producers from backyard size for growing your own vegetables to sizes capable of economically supporting a family. • Aquaponics grows fish and prawns, providing a source of protein. • Aquaponics doesn’t require fertile soil, or even soil for that matter. • We know ten percent now of what we’ll know in ten years about aquaponics.
