THE NOT SO GREAT DIVIDE

The divide between the rich and the poor, the haves and the have nots. Which side are you and I on.

Its not about sides. Its not a game. Its more about can you manage to feed, cloth and shelter yourself and your family.Which brings me to World Hunger and Poverty.

Acording to the Oxford Dictionary Hunger has three meanings:

• The uneasy or painful sensation caused by want of food; craving appetite.
• A strong desire or craving 
• The want or scarcity of food in a country

The third one is about world hunger and the reality is malnutrition or  a lack of some or all nutritional elements necessary for human health.
 For those who dont know, Im 75 years old and I have had world poverty on my mind and heart for most of my life. But what can one person do to help, and does it really help. Well when I first got interested in Aquaponics it became clear to me immediately that this was one way people could be helped - if a better way of growing food was available, they could be helped. If there was a way of making it into a lean, mean, food machine.


Thats now the one way that I can see for me to be of value in this present world poverty struggle. To somehow make A/P available and workable for people where it is most needed. So to that end, this blog was created. Just simply to learn and to be an instrument in some way for people to help A/P to progress. For it to be developed. For people to have somewhere where any new concepts, any hints or ideas can be shown for the benefit of all who drop in here and somehow the word will get to the people who really need a better way to feed themselves and their families.

And so to work:

Aquaculture is the worlds fastest-growing farming sector with an average growth rate of 6 - 8%/year, a value of $86 billion, and an output of ~45.5 million tons of fish protein.

This past spring in CE 180, Design, Construction, Maintenance of Civil and Environmental Engineered Systems, Fisher and his project group designed a flood management system for the Sacramento–San Joaquin River Delta that would serve small-scale aquaponics, a sustainable agricultural method using water and fish to grow food.
