Aquaponics Food Production Systems

It has been more than 45 years since the science fiction film Soylent Green (1973)
first appeared in cinemas. The movie was prescient for its time and predicted many
of our current environmental problems, including dying oceans, the greenhouse
effect, overpopulation, and loss of biodiversity. Even though we hope that humans
will not serve as a future nutrient source, the scenarios laid out in the movie are not
that far from being realised. As researchers and citizens, we realise our duty of care
to the environment and the rest of our world’s ever-growing population. We are
concerned that if we stand back and ignore the current trends in exploitation of
resources and methods of production that our paradise of a planet will be doomed or
at least far diminished, such that living on the sterile surfaces of the Moon or Mars
will seem like a pleasant alternative
