227: Aquaponics: The Future of Sustainable Food – Dr. Steven Summerfelt & Molly Stanek
Manage episode 349683099 series 1126786
Nine out of ten Americans are not getting enough fruits and vegetables, and despite recommendations to eat seafood at least two times a week, many people are falling short of that goal. In fact, according to a recent study in BMJ 68% of adults and 95% of children do not consume enough omega-3s to reach the Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommendations. Aquaponics is an innovative sustainable food production system that combines hydroponics (growing plants in water without soil) and aquaculture creating a recirculatory system that might just help us achieve nutrition and public health goals of increasing consumption of two of the healthiest foods lacking in the American diet – vegetables and seafood.
