Aquaponics hits a new high when...

...in the comments section people debate if tilapia in your fish and chips order is worth your time and gloss over the fact that a 90,000 square foot non-profit facility, designed to teach youth and adults about urban agriculture, is being devised at this very moment in Lexington, Ky. In the same facility, you'll have a fish and chips shop, brewery, room for growing mushrooms, food kitchen, vermiculture demonstration on the roof and rooftop greenhouse.

-What's that you say, you want to know more about Hantz Farms in Detroit and the reasons why they should or shouldn't open a gigantic urban farm? Opponents want Hantz to be more like SOLEfood, and who knows, maybe the pressure will encourage them to consider making their enterprise more social.

-Get your pad and pencil out, for a huge rooftop space is available in the Bronx to farm on behalf of New York City.
