Just did. Looks very interesting from a nitrogen cycle/water use perspective. I'd bet it would do really well with charcoal as a growing medium. Of course, without a Sabbath you're blowing off the tactical value of remote stocking, and the social value of integrating the poor.

Yep.

There’s no Sabbath required to integrate the poor.
I think Aquaponics would be a viable replacement for the fishing economy that I observed being lost in Baja back in the 90’s. In 1995 they’d been pretty much reduced to scrounging for starfish and the like for animal food.
Replace the community owned pongas with a community owned aquaponic garden. At least that would be a sustainable alternative to making midnight cash-crop runs for the local Federali sanctioned thugs.

And pretty simple to implement. You could easily remotely stock the requisite components, and then acquire the aquatics from a local source when needed.
Missionaries have already picked it up and are implementing it in various locals.
I think it’s a beautiful solution that our Creator has provided just in time.
