Farming for the future

Farming for the future will have to provide food for more people using less water and less land. Visit the tunnel on plot 54 & 57 for some innovative ideas and systems in action.
Aquaponics is a sustainable method of raising both fish and vegetables. Furthermore, with this type of indoor farming, you grow substantially more food with less water, land and labour than traditional agriculture.
There are fully functioning aquaponics systems in the tunnel that can be used to sustainably raise fresh fish and vegetables for a family, to feed a village or to generate profit in a commercial farming venture, in any climate.
