While it's true that most earlier farm failed due to technical issue such as poor design, most recently build farm fails due to not being viable economically.

Your system design might be less productive or using old design such as UVI design. BUT. If you're able to market your produce well and sell for profits, you will make money regardless the design being less productive.

However, if your system design is super fancy & modern & highly productive. BUT... you are not able to sell your produce for profits. You'll lose money. Producing food in AP is one o the most expensive way to do it. Good farm management (both business and technical) will be crucial for farm success.

Finally, designing fish system is hard. Running it is easy. Designing plant system is easy. Running it is hard.

5 finger rules of success told to me by Prof. Michael Ben Timmons.

KNOW your fish, KNOW your water, KNOW your system, and KNOW your management (all 4 are critical and poor performance of any can cause failure) and business types would add, KNOW your market!",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
