I'm not American, so am more influenced by what I've seen in Australia and my travels around South-East Asia. There are many urban areas that are not surrounded by arable land, or the arable land they have is dedicated to growing cash crops for export. Globally there's a massive movement towards locally-grown, organically-sourced, low-mileage food, so aquaponics is one solution that taps that.
