"There's been a lot of press

about Aquaponics

and sustainable fish farming

cropping up lately, so I wanted to share this astonishingly beautiful example:
Sepp Holzer
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sepp_Holzer
lives on a mountaintop in Austria, where he casually but thoughtfully manages a fish farm that provides all of his food, clean water, income, and electricity through nothing but a series of carefully placed pond systems. Gravity pulls the water from pond to pond, and little micro-organism-eating fish are gradually replaced by bigger and bigger predatory fish until he has clean water and full-sized trout! It's so simple it might seem like magic, but it's actually cooler than that.
