TEDxWarwick - Charlie Price - Aquaponics - Getting More out of Less

Charlie Price from the social enterprise Aquaponics UK, explores the role aquaponics can play in the future of our collective food supply.
He provides an insight into both the applications for aquaponics but more specifically a new approach to urban agriculture, turning wastes into resources and transforming disused urban spaces to provide not only food, but resilient communities.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark dep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

This is the future with out Montosano feeding everybody round-up poison. The cost to start is high like bottle neck, but the payoff is relatively fast and with high return. I believe the Mayans did it in large aquifer where they did you know what else too :/ and yes the tilapia eat that too. Wrapping this into an "eco-system" is the truest form I've ever thought of, one large efficiency sustainer.

The maggots crawl through the fish carcasses, they could contaminate the fish with what's on the outside of their bodies.

Right but they're not feeding the fish with fish carcasses, they're feeding the fish with black fly maggots.

The Regs are to prevent diseases such as JCD...also known as "Mad Cow Disease"..i.e don't force the animals to be cannibals which in the case of bovines lead to the brain-wasting disease of JCD.

I totally agree...

What kind of insanity would drive someone to support mass third world immigration, forced integration, and 'assimilation' in ALL White countries and ONLY White countries?

Insanity would drive someone to support White geNOcide !

White geNOcide is insane !

Anti-racist is a code word for anti-White

[occupynewparadigm]

insane talk

[will wittmann]

Oh an do they have the prawns in the same tanks as the tilapia? Seems like the tilapia would eat them.

[will wittmann]

Can someone explain in detail why you cant feed the fish the maggots that fed on the fish bones, heads etc and have to add in the chickens?. I understood what he said but I don't understand the science of it. What does it matter what the maggots fed on? who knew there was such a thing as Animal Byproducts regulation?

[funnymanforlife]

this was all really cool =) really.
