Hydroponics, aquaponics, and sovereignty

from Down to Earth: The Planet to Plate Podcast · host Radio Cafe, Quivira Coalition

Hydroponic agriculture systems use water––not soil––to grow crops, and yet they use water with exceptional efficiency and can produce abundantly all year round. When coupled with fish farming, the result is a nearly closed-loop system––aquaponics––in which the plants filter the water for the fish, and the fish provide fertilizer for the plants.
