About
My name is Jessica and I am the person behind GreenAquaponics. I am the creator and project lead of the aquaponics system at The Evergreen State College and am passionate about food production systems! Especially alternatives that mimic what mother nature has already created.
Closed loop systems such as aquaponics have great potential for urban agriculture. I believe everyone should have access to real, healthy, affordable organic food. Contact me for aquaponics consulting and site tours!

About this site
This blog is about aquaponics and permaculture. I am hoping to share and spread information about sustainable food production systems. Hopefully this will become a place to share information, I am always looking for feedback and information about other projects successes and failures. Feel free to comment on articles or start a dialogue.
What is Aquaponics?
Aquaponics is a food production system that produces both fish and plants in a complimentary system. The waste products of the fish are used to fertilize the plants and in turn the plants clean the water for reuse in the fish culture tanks.
