There is a growing movement across the world to secure and eat organic or at least locally-
grown foods to increase local economies and reduce the carbon footprint. This movement
has become so powerful and wide spread that nearly every major supermarket in the world
offers their customers locally grown food. This movement has also pushed seed sales to new
heights as people plant soil gardens or install hydroponics or aquaponics systems to grow
healthy vegetables for their families so they can control the quality of the food they eat.
Aquaponics is a cutting-edge and water saving technology to increase a family's level of
sustainability and health and by installing their aquaponics system in a greenhouse, families
can extend their growing season year round and have complete control of what foods they
