Aquaponic Possibilities

          Klim  Datsyute is a young Russian permaculturist who lives in the US and studied in Australia. He  came to Mexico to build  a an aquaponic system, where vegetables are grown in water pumped from a fish pond. It is a symbiotic system, because the plants benefit from the fish waste and the fish eat the plant waste, creating a circle of mutually beneficial growth. It is supposed to be funded through a grant from Hidalgo State, an area north of Mexico City. Now, three months later, they are still waiting to start because the money hasn’t materialized, though it is promised each month. They begin to wonder if it ever will. Let's hope it does for this worthy idea.
