Aquaponic farming saves water, but can it feed the country?

Ken Armstrong operates Ouroboros Farms using aquaponics, a system where fish provide nutrients for plants, which in turn clean the water. This method offers faster plant growth and significant water savings, crucial in drought-prone California. However, aquaponics faces economic challenges, especially for staple crops, due to high initial costs. Despite these challenges, Armstrong believes in its potential, delivering produce to upscale restaurants and advocating for urban aquaponics. The technique remains niche but offers a sustainable alternative to traditional farming.
