Well, based on the information given in the video… 10000 fish 300-500 yards worm compost 3 acres of land in green houses Grow all year using heat from compost piles. Using vertical space Simple 1 pump aquaponics A packed greenhouse produces a crop value of Square Foot! (0000/acre). That is if the whole acre was under greenhouse. 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 eatable food unless you process all parts of them for food. ie 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. Growing power depends on and runs on the HUGE amounts of compost they make from food waste that is taken from the city. With out this compost there would be no heat for the greenhouses and no fuel for the plants to grow. Its a great thing to divert this from the landfill and provide cheap food for the community.
