Starting my own aquaponics project would be amazing. I think it will be great to encourage such seemingly radical and yet sustainable means of food production in America and to teach such techniques to other people around the world. That is why I am actively looking for information on ways to set up and manage the various stages of an Aquaponic life cycle (small medium and large scale). I am also open to formal training in or around Indiana or the Midwest.
What have you been working on? Do you know of an aquaponics initiative that works with people of the tropics or sub-Saharan Africa? Please tell me more about your plans? Thank you very much.

Dr. Brooks, I am fairly new to the aquaponics community. I live in the Queen Creek area of the Valley. I am wanting to build a greenhouse for my aquaponics gardens. I have heard of people cooling their greenhouse by using air pipes through the ground to cool the air or use water pipes and some kind of heat ex changer. Are you aware of any systems like this in Arizona or can you direct me to information on these types of systems.
