Practicing aquaculture on the homefront may provide greater certainty of whether or not you’ll be eating in the future. And not only that, aquaculture produces the finest homegrown protein in the smallest amount of land. It all happens 3-dimensionally! That is quite the bargain when you consider that in today’s markets, protein calories are the most expensive calories to produce. It is estimated by the FAO that aquaculture would account for 62% of the world's fish supply for human consumption by 2030. Aquaculture has been a way of life since ancient times. For the majority who live away from the coasts, domestic freshwater aquaculture provides the best opportunity for self-sufficiency in the least amount of land.
A great resource to get started with to learn more about freshwater aquaculture is with New Alchemy Institute and the following great book that lays it out for anybody to understand all its dimensions:
