nice! and i commend you for the effort of helping people to earn, saving the environment and improving our economy if this will prosper. how much is needed for the materials of a small "farm"?

Hi Rumar,
"Small Farm" is difficult to evaluate. In aquaponics, a 1 Sq. meter fish-tank Aquaponics system can translate to 20 or 30 sq meter traditional fish pond. Depending on your know-how and capability you can increase the fish density to much more. A 1 Sq. meter, Aquaponics System can provide you a start up of vegetables equivalent to a land area of 5 then increase to 10 to 20 sq. meters. As your system develops your "ferilized production area" coverage can increase. With Aquaponics you can be creative, hence, space should not be an issue. You can go vertical farming - sky is the limit(including your cash). In other words, your 1 sq. meter can become 3 sq. meters if you have 3 layers of fish tank. Your vegetable grow bed can also be designed for vertical production, so you can already start your farm on a 10 sq meter plot as long as you can provide the infrastructure.
Traditional farming cannot be compared with aquaponics as each have different conditions and parameters. There is no way to evaluate and compare "apple to apple" considering that you do not have to travel hours to go to the farm, spend gasoline/fuel and pollute the environment. To answer your "small farm" - For backyard hobbyist a 10 sq. meter, 10,000.00 php (using recycled, creative construction would be about it) 50,000 php 20 to 30 sq. meter you can be sustainable and renewable.
One most important thing that people fail to appreciate is the invaluable quality, nutritious-organic, toxic free, chemical free, healthy, clean and environmentally friendly way of producing food for the family. In my case health issue, was my main drive when I started all these activity to acheive nutritious farm produce and not so much for the monetary returns. On the other hand-organic products are now very expensive. Most of those who attend my presentations have that purpose in mind-health food, as the priorty. Foreigners are very conscious of the "organic-fish" aspect as well as they do not trust what is being sold. I do know how it is to suffer all those allergies.
My apologies for the long winded explanation, but I would take this opportunity to a common query and becomes part of my FAQ.

Working smart is often not easy from the start, especially when you are new and "many things" to learn, however, once you get to practice it, you will know that what you learned will be worth all the time, money and effort you put it. Efficiency and Productivity with Technology.
Aquaponics is like the word-processor of the PC, while traditional fishing-aquaculture-agriculture is the typewriter. Today, anyone given the typewriter for free will not even accept it, knowing what it can do. This is like the "slide-rule"(during my time) and the "calculator".
From the PC, the value, efficiency and quality of what your produce is far superior than the typewriter. What more if you are able to manipulate the variables/parameters of Aquaponics. Being able to produce your own healthy, organic, nutritious, clean, green fresh quality fish and vegetables-plants-herbs is far superior that what you can purchase(typewriter).
Only your imagination is the limit and the results are exciting- also be frustrating(as you move up the learning curve).

World Bank: Poor education holds back Philippines - Yahoo!
This article above presents poor education as the major drawback of the Philippines– one thing that is not mentioned here are the “poor-farmers-fisher folks” that are suppose to provide food for our people in the Philippines. If our poor-farmers-fisher folks keep on using the same process and procedures they will keep on getting the same results. The vicious cycle just repeats itself - compounding our poverty situation. There has to be a better way, there has to be a shift in mindset and direction. I hope someone out there can tell the President of the Philippines - to support our Philippine Aquaponics. 4.5 million involuntarily hungry Filipino voices seem to be unheared..
We have to help educate our poor farmers-fisher folks regarding "integrated-farming"
