Aquaponics (see yesterday's post) businesses are "burgeoning"! Google your locality with aquaponics and see what you come up with. Looks like a growth industry. Here's an interesting one: an operation in Philadelphia started with a police raid on an indoor marijuana "farm" resulting in the equipment turned to growing food instead.
You can take a university course if you want to start this sort of business, and of course there's a lot to learn. It's not exactly like falling off a log. There are even businesses that specialize in selling the systems to grow fish and veggies together. The director of one of the first commercial aquaponics farms in Florida also heads up the Aquaponics Association to support its members.
Abundance of nutritious foods using otherwise unusable resources (abandoned buildings, as an example) with waste that turns out in this endeavor to be valuable (fish waste), plus much more efficient use of land (100x) and water - what's not to like! Watch this video for an excellent explanation of the idea.
