For anyone who's curious, this is fundamentally how a closed aquaponics system works. Had no idea you could apply it to open field crops like rice though, thats neat

Edit: When tf, didn't realize I got pinned XD

Fishes eats insects and their waste turns to fertilizer. Nice..

[andrewflowers]

I live in Thailand. Shrimp, crabs, fish, eels. Rice paddies have SO much 'seafood'.
Using synthetic fertilizers and pesticides kill the shrimp first, then the fish, finally the crabs die.
Ironically, rich farmers poison their aquatic life with expensive chemicals. The poorer villages have better quality and more fish than rich villages.

So farmer keeps costs down by using one crop to benefit the other, as both grow but also keeps environmental costs down by using fish as pest control & dont have to add fertilizers etc to help feed the crop, thus keeping environmental damage costs low... AND they double their profits by producing two 'crops' in same field at same time! Ingenious!!

Thailand is far advanced in agriculture and farming. we in M'sia always learn something new from them. thank you Thailand

[本郷ミリアム]

I had a classmates from Thailand when I was in college, University of the Philippines college of agriculture…you can do that if you’re not using chemicals and fertilizers in the rice fields.

"Reuse" and "Recycle"😂😂😂

[jeanparker]

Poorer farmers have so much knowledge and wisdom we should learn from them ❤

[gem]

Smart and efficient! Love double duty ideas.

[garystrittmater]

I find low-tech, elegant solutions like this absolutely amazing! China has geese by the millions used for weed and insect control WITHOUT using chemical fertilizers and insecticides!👍👍❤❤😁😁

[wewenang]

we do this all over Asia...not just Thailand...Indonesia, Malaysia, China, Japan...traditionally this is how we plant rice until modern tech came.

[silverhills]

This is called working with nature, not against it.❤❤❤

[TP-flul]

Wow very smart! That's real Organic farming

[theinfluencer]

Absolutely great practice and this video is good one

[v.m.priyadharshini]

In the Indian state of Kerala, there is a traditional farming technique known as "Pokkali Rice Cultivation" which uses prawns instead of small fishes.

[JosephAllen-mgez]

Thousands years of people have figured that out and the flourished because of it. Awesome

[vetiarvind]

simple and effective - regards from the other large rice growers across the bay

[SuperMickey]

Two crops, one field. Smart farming right there.

[WasuFCA]

This is the old way for grow rice in Thailand. But nowadays Almost farmers use Pesticides, Weedicides and Synthetic Fertilizer to grow rice. Only few rice farm still use this technique.
I want all farmers in my country use old techniques to grow foods as ours past. 😢

[BuyoganExtendedStories]

Farmer and fisherman at the same time. This is a win-win 😊
