There are over 250 identified foodborne diseases that are caused by bacteria, viruses and parasites infecting humans throughout the world. Amongst the most common, and most publicly known, is Escherichia coli (E. coli), which can be found in leafy greens, meat and other produce. E. Coli accounts for multiple health related illnesses each year (sometimes even leading to death) and cost the government, retailers, wholesalers, and farmers in terms of loss of profit and medical aid.
Offering proven lower risks for foodborne illnesses, a closer look at aquaponics should be taken as a reasonable and viable option to decrease the risk of all foodborne pathogens, including E. Coli.
