AquaPonics : could it be our salvation?

So many people are extremely wasteful, much like the united states, so wasteful that we'd throw away a bottle of water..water that people in 3rd world country's can't even get a hold of and die. We are a country of wastefullness, so why don't we do something that can eventually save us? I believe that method is aquaponics. an aquaponic's tank can feed a neighborhood of people with the output of six times the growth from plants and as much fish as one can eat. If this method has already been found, i don't see why we couldn't help other country's eat and thrive. now i'm sure you've heard of the saying, "build a man a fire he'll be warm for a night, teach a man to build a fire he'll be warm for a lifetime." This is going to be perfect for the trouble's we're going to have when grocery prices skyrocket. what do you think of the system?

It's called hydroponics. i've grown weed that way, and the yeild wasn't any better than just growing in soil. it was much more expensive and complicated. i think aeroponics uses less water.

you grew your weed by fish?? and not only that but you must have had quite a bit of space to grow it too :O there are different names for this system and i've seen it grow many times fold with different kinds of fish. what kind of fish did you use?

My mistake, i did not read OP all the way through. the opening put me off. it sounded to me like the self rightous ranting of a collage student eager to protest something, not caring what.

Thankyou so much for reading it all the way, maybe i should have worded it differently as to not sound like this haha ^^

Because shit costs a lot of money. If you didn't know the US is billions of dollars in debt already. And plus global cooperations of the food industry alike would never allow this to happen on anything but a small scale.
