Aquaponic Food Production
About the Authors

Rebecca L. Nelson and John S. Pade cumulatively have over 40 years experience in the hydroponics, aquaponics and controlled environment agriculture industries.  They believe that aquaponics is a real-world, practical, sustainable and achievable method of feeding people and they work to promote and implement this technology daily through their publishing and consulting.  Rebecca and John are poised to be a part of the reinvention of agriculture for the 21st century. 

Prior to the writing of this book, they owned and operated a commercial-sized hydroponic and aquaponic greenhouse; produced and published videos, instructional materials, books, school curriculums and websites on aquaponics, hydroponics and aquaculture; designed and developed a diverse mix of aquaponic systems; have been invited to speak at conferences on soilless culture in several countries; consulted on numerous projects around the world; and have continually published the Aquaponics Journal, a quarterly publication on aquaponics, since 1997.

Entrepreneurs at heart, past business ventures include running a Caribbean summer camp for teens, training of scuba divers and submarine pilots, installation of computer cabling for stock brokerages, video production and gold mining. 

This book is a culmination of years of work in aquaponics.  Growing, writing, consulting, publishing, researching and studying aquaponics technology has been a part of their daily lives since the mid 1990’s. 

Rebecca and John are pleased to offer this book, which they believe presents the most up to date and complete information on aquaponics.
