Aquaponics: Why we should be putting fish in our farms

What if you could farm vegetables AND fish in the same space, with little to no fertilizer or pesticides? We visited an aquaponics farm in the middle of a city where this is already happening - to see how future food production could look like.

We're destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn't need to be this way. Our new channel Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world — and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What we can do and how the system needs to change. Every Friday we'll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess.
