From the July/August 1999 issue of Texas Gardener:

Bioponics: Organics Marry Hydroponics - Jody Bates

Would you like to have succulent, juicy tomatoes and an Italian herb garden ready for your next salad? Chris Freeman, a recent Masters of Agriculture graduate of Texas A&M University, has devised a unique system called "bioponics" that has all the advantages of hydroponics, yet is certified organic by the Texas Department of Agriculture.

If you are a commercial gardener, the organic stamp of approval can command higher prices in the marketplace, and bioponics assure crops with high aesthetic value and consumer appeal.
