When people start looking at freeze-dried food and feeling unhappy about the
nutritional value that they can offer, survival aquaponics seems to be a solution to
this problem.
Another thing:
that people are looking at is cost. People are looking for an
inexpensive source of green produce if produce prices increase. This is a likely
scenario in instances of:
- Inflation
- Disruptions to the transportation system if energy costs rise
- Disruption to the labor system, If inputs like fertilizer, water and fuel become scarce or more highly valued
As part of this, it’s interesting to look at politically unstable areas of the world and
environmentally degraded areas of the world. And when you look at these areas,
you find that the most expensive things in those cultures, in those societies, are
typically weapons and food — that is, you know, what can you feed yourself and
how can you defend yourself. Now, a reality of the situation is that people always
need to eat.
Another reason:
that people are looking at survival aquaponics is because they’re
interested in flavor and quality of not just the food they eat, but the quality of the
life they live. So one overlooked aspect of a survival situation or a disrupted
society and a disrupted lifestyle-type scenario is quality of life. And people forget
that morale and long-term outlook are influenced by luxury and comfort items.
That is, it’s not just about surviving; it’s about actually being happy.
It’s about:
finding some joy in the things that you do. It’s about enjoying your lot in life,
enjoying your place. And a lot of that has to do with consuming the things that you
enjoy. And even the most avid meat eaters, on occasion, crave a salad. That’s your
body’s way of saying it wants some of those nutrients.
