Multimedia Assignment 1

Charlie Price is at the forefront of designing and setting up aquaponics systems and the following video touches on virtually every aspect of aquaponics from inputs to outputs to location and its benefit to urban agriculture.

As you watch the video pay attention to how the number of outputs can be increased while at the same time decreasing the amount of inputs required.  Pay attention to the numbers and types of outputs these systems can supply, not just plant crops and fish but the other items he covers as well.  Admittedly not all aquaponics systems can or will incorporate all the outputs possible but Mr. Price gives an excellent overview of the possibilities.

Watch for how disused spaces in urban areas might be repurposed to allow not only for aquaponic production but also as a restaurant and for education.
