Aquaponics Taking Roots - Stories from Wisconsin

This is an introduction to aquaponics through visits to six farms in Wisconsin. They range from small family farm, community based, supplier/grower, and on to one of the largest systems in the country/world.

Faremers talk about why they got into aquaponics, the choices they made (tilapia, perch, salmon, greens...), working in an eco-secure system, and the natural balances with growing in a circulating indoor system.

Director Biography - Roger Bindl

What can one say... I like to produce videos, but started with photography as a teenager, then pencil sketches in college, to taking art courses despite discouragement of engineering adviser, then buying a better SLR, merging into video and editing during days of DOS, while funding passion with technology jobs, which evolved into more video and animation that were tied into passion for drawing... and here we are today.
