What an entrepreneurial approach undertaken by a person living around desert ! He transformed barren land into a perfectly ecosystem environment suitable for both crops as well as fisheries. All of these living beings is contributing to each others to sustain the system to keep the economy going. Thinking of all the ideas that have been put into effort to contribute to the growing demand of veggies in a land unimaginable makes me so motivated. I love how his passion made him for what he is today

No need to use Honey sir. It is expensive. You can use molasses or sugar. Good to see your beautiful farm in the middle of beautiful desert. Bioflock/Aquaculture is very exciting idea. I used to have a large bioflock set up but have moved now to egg farming. Best of luck.

Tilapia is not a popular fish but Malaysian agro has developed a new cross breed which is in good demand, I hope they'll look into it. This system of agriculture he's using was actually developed by the Malaysian agro but the agro scientist team went to India and they were impressed with the system villagers used and believed it's better than this system because fish, cattle and plants are symbiosis in one cycle using algae as cattle food thriving from the poultry dropping

?? When it costs hundreds of millions of dollars every year to bring water to a fish plant in the desert, (with other very expensive plant operation and energy costs) how do you make a profit... if it costs you 10 dollars to produce a fish that you sell for 2 dollars, that is NOT a successful business.

[@obsoletepowercorrupts]

Dried fish, having first been boned, in such systems in hot areas _(even if this farm might chose different logistics and has probably figured out what is working well for the area already)_ has lower refrigeration requirements when sold as food, and in some places even no refrigeration. Since bones would have been removed on site, those too can make for fertiliser and other product extraction. They can also be a useful data source in testing for fish health and metals ratio, such as cumulative elements which are generally fewer in numbers for shorter lifespan fish. That way, soil health from the addition of fish bone can be predicted from the metals and waters categorisation per crop, such as crops that need not be edible, like a tree cash-crop for the wood. It can also mean food nutrition programmes can use vermicomposting for worms with palm fronds, so metals affecting bacteria and nematode (and fungi) ratios have the data forecast _(pH meters, water gas absorption and release monitored by Air-Quality-Index microelectronics, and so forth)._ My comment has no hate in it and I do no harm. I am not appalled or afraid, boasting or envying or complaining... Just saying. Psalms23: Giving thanks and praise to the Lord and peace and love. Also, I'd say Matthew6.
