The Bio-Integrated Farm is a twenty-first-century manual for managing nature's resources. This groundbreaking book brings "system farming" and permaculture to a whole new level. Author Shawn Jadrnicek presents new insights into permaculture, moving beyond the philosophical foundation to practical advanced designs based on a functional analysis. Holding his designs to a higher standard, Jadrnicek's components serve at least seven functions (classical permaculture theory only seeks at least two functions). With every additional function a component performs, the design becomes more advanced and saves more energy. A bio-integrated greenhouse, for example, doesn't just extend the season for grow...

The subregional workshop was aimed at facilitating greater understanding of the issues involved in creating the required enabling environment for sustainable aquaculture development in the Lesser Antilles. Following the sharing of national experiences and the presentation of selected case studies on ongoing subregional aquaculture activities, the issues that have constrained past aquaculture development activities were discussed. The participants recognized the diversities in both the scale and success of past aquaculture activities in the subregion and identified the constraints to and opportunities for sustainable aquaculture development in the subregion.--Publisher's description.
This book introduces aquaculture ecology as a science of the interaction between commercial aquatic organisms as well as their farming activities and the environment, including the rationales of building and management of aquaculture systems. This book covers productivity and carrying capacity, effects of cyclical fluctuation of environmental factors on aquatic organisms, biological control of water quality, structural optimization of aquaculture systems and ecological prevention of disease. In the last chapter, aquaculture production systems are introduced from multiple perspectives. This book has been designed to provide a stimulating and informative text for researchers in aquaculture, fisheries as well as hydrobiology.
Learn the history of aquaponics and how to build your own system. When it comes to keeping up with a garden, people normally will go through the trouble of keeping up with watering and being concerned about how much fertilizer to use and being concerned about the weather conditions. Mostly, these types of concerns will come from a lack of research or a lack of understanding in the surrounding environment. Being able to grow any kind of plant takes a lot of work since it always will require more attention to the actual land and soil rather than the growth of the actual plant. This alone makes it stressful to start a personal garden outside. The good news is that a new method of aquaponics mak...
