The Amazing Microbiology of Aquaponics

As our nation prepares to pass the once-every-5-year Farm Bill, let's remember that aquaponic systems have been shown to have the same - if not more - quantity and diversity of rich microbiology as organic soil.

Whether as a consumer, grower, policy-maker, or business owner, we all make decisions that affectwhere and how our food is produced.

As we shape our new food system, one critical consideration is whether we retain access to high qualityfresh fruits and vegetables, particularly those grown sustainably. We must assess whether new growing methods like aquaponics can deliver fruits and vegetables grown from seed with the same symbiotic biological processes used by plants since the dawn of time.

Our report shows that aquaponic systems feature a vibrant, thriving community of happy little micro-critters!
