Time for a Change in our Food Supply? | Chris Anthony | TEDxHickory

Aquaponics is a self-sustainable gardening method where fish and vegetables grow in the same system where nutrient rich water from the fish tank circulates through the system giving plants the nutrients needed to grow fresh organic healthy vegetables and fish. Because Aquaponics can produce more food per square foot than any system on earth, it can help change the world and its need for a nutritional diet. Chris recognizes it is time for a change in the world’s food supply and Aquaponics is the solution.

Chris Anthony aka the Straw Hat Farmer is the founder of Grow Dinner Aquaponics. He has been recognized worldwide for his accomplishments in Aquaponics gardening through teaching others how to grow food in a non-traditional way. To reach his personal goal of helping others learn to eat healthy and become more self-sustainable, he provides others with the knowledge of how to do Aquaponics at home and on a commercial farming level.

23 minutes of telling us something we already know. The quality of TED is dwindling. By the way at 16:10 this presenter needs to learn plants prefer uptaking ammonia directly, not as nitrates.
