Hey Aquapioneers!
Last month we discussed on group of potential farmers, the students in our educational system. These children will be the first generation educated about aquaponics in their formative years of schooling.
However, they are not the only group of people that have the potential to grow food for their community using aquaponics.
Hidden Populations of Potential Farmers
In fact, there are many groups of what we call “potential farmers,” hidden populations of people that derive benefits from growing with aquaponics beyond just the awesome food. Other benefits of aquaponics include educational use as a crosscutting teachers aid, as discussed last month, use as a job -training tool, and the documented therapeutic and rehabilitative effects of gardening.
Over the next few months we will explore some of these hidden groups of “potential farmers”. We’ll see how they are already using aquaponics to change their lives for the better, all while supporting their community’s local food system.
This month, we are going to explore our work with the Arc. From their website: “The Arc is the largest national community-based organization advocating for and serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families.
We encompass all ages and more than 100 different diagnoses including autism, Down syndrome, Fragile X syndrome, and various other developmental disabilities.”

The Age Of Autism Meets Aquaponics
For many years we have heard that gardening, running water and fish are a calming practice. Not only is Aquaculture good for stress, and good for growing food, but new research and work is emerging that Aquaponics can greatly benefit autistic adults and children.
