What if there was a way to increase the world wide yield of many fresh farm products, fresh fruits and vegetables in one tenth the area and 70 percent less water. Just consider for a while those statistics. As you muse over these figures let me go on.
When I was a child, 70 years ago I lived on a small farm in South Western Michigan. It was an area where they raised a lot of fruit from trees, bushes, and small plants. Of course the production and harvest followed seasonal cycles. At that time each family was primarily independent of today’s super-markets. At that time families functioned as independent units and there was a term used, which was, “Put food by in season.”. However along came marketing and large super markets and has changed all of that.
With today’s technology there is a way to break away from the stranglehold that our nations and farm industries of the world have on the people. Without that flow of food there would be rioting and pillaging in the streets immediately. Over the last very few years there is a new technology called aquaponics. It’s so new that the word processors don’t have the correct spelling of it. Basically it is raising fish and plants by circulation of the water from the fish tanks to the plant grow beds. The advantages of this system are very numerous. I will try to highlight a few of them.
1. The area required to grow the same amount of food is one tenth compared to the current conventional method of gardening.
2. The food products are completely organic. Fertilizer is not used.
3. The amount of water required is 70 percent less than the conventional method to produce the same amount of food.
4. The plants and produce grow twice as fast.
5. Planting to harvest takes only 50 percent of the time of the conventional produce.
6. Once an aquaponics system is set up, it will only take 10 to fifteen minutes a day to monitor. Even the elderly and handicapped can handle this part of it. You might consider this a negative in that the aquaponics system needs daily monitoring. I don’t, it will help teach family members responsibilities.
7. With this being a family operated home food production of fresh organic foods, the whole families health would improve. Can you imagine a whole nation living an absolutely healthy abundant life. The objective of each family being that their aquaponics system be the best in the neighbourhood. I can envision where each neighbourhood will have a weekly trading market centre where each family could go to trade their specialties whatever that might be from food products to crafts and so forth. If presented properly this could do a lot to bring our families together in strong united formations making up a fantastically strong nation.
8. No weeding required. This is one of the big work requirements in conventional gardening.
This aquaponics system is catching on in Australia and some other areas of the world, and is finally beginning to be noticed in the United States. This system can truly be the vehicle for freedom and independence of the the entire world. When this great nation was founded, everybody had a garden and a trust in God, we need to get back to it.
During the Second World War we all had Victory Gardens. I would like us all to see Freedom added to Aquaponics and all have a Freedom Aquaponics Garden. In converting to a system such as this, we have need of getting rid of the corruption in our big-corporations. They are designed to rape the people, not to give to them. We need a few neighbourhood examples to show how this could work, once started the people will love it and there will be no stopping it from sweeping the world.
