&lt;/a&gt;Traditional dirt farming requires nutrients in the soil either added, existing or naturally renewed (river floods, composting, rain run offs, etc). It usually requires considerable space, and considerable water and a LOT of work. You have to fight with nature often times to produce consistent crops. Basically this is hard work and requires knowledge, luck and patience that I simply don’t have.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>The Reason for Aquaponics</title><link>https://aquaponics-system.com/aquaponics-basics/the-reason-for-aquaponics/</link><pubDate>Tue, 20 Feb 2024 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://aquaponics-system.com/aquaponics-basics/the-reason-for-aquaponics/</guid><description>&lt;h3 class="relative group"&gt;What is Your Reason for Aquaponics?
 &lt;div id="what-is-your-reason-for-aquaponics" class="anchor"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
 
 &lt;span
 class="absolute top-0 w-6 transition-opacity opacity-0 -start-6 not-prose group-hover:opacity-100 select-none"&gt;
 &lt;a class="text-primary-300 dark:text-neutral-700 !no-underline" href="#what-is-your-reason-for-aquaponics" aria-label="Anchor"&gt;#&lt;/a&gt;
 &lt;/span&gt;
 
&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;One time I asked a group of family members where meat comes from. Their joyful and dead serious response was “Wal-Mart”&lt;a href="https://aquaponics-system.com/i/aquaponics-basics-large-walmart.png" &gt;&lt;figure&gt;&lt;img
 class="my-0 rounded-md"

 &gt;&lt;/figure&gt;
&lt;/a&gt;. Without humor I say that the most people do not make the association between our food and how it is produced. Many people are happy to eat meat, but don’t want to know where it actually comes from. I love an occasional bacon cheeseburger. Every time I eat meat I pause and have gratitude that I’m able to eat meat, and also that this animal gave it’s life for me. Aquaponics helps me (and hopefully others), to make the association with meat I eat and respect for the life that was given for me to enjoy it.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
