On just 3 acres they are producing 1,000,000 pounds of food each year— How are they doing this?



10,000 fish
300-500 yards worm compost
3 acres of land in green houses
Grow all year using heat from compost piles
Using vertical space
A packed greenhouse produces a crop value of $5 Square Foot! ($200,000/acre).

Now, just to be clear I am not growing power or Will Allen. Also, a pound of plant or fish product is not the same thing as edible food unless you process all parts of them for food. i.e. eating the fish bones and using plant stalks in stews. Generally, nations that are well fed throw away most of the plant and eat only the best parts thus lowing the yield of food.
