Got Climate Change? Kelp Can Help
Kelp, which most of us refer to as seaweed, may be an important tool in the quest to limit the effects of a warming planet. Much of the carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere by humans — primarily by extracting and burning fossil fuels — is absorbed by the world’s … [continued]
Shrimp, Fish, & Solar: A Recipe For Success
Fraunhofer ISE is leading experiments that combine solar power with aquaculture along the Mekong River in southern Vietnam. Many shrimp and fish farms cover their operations with greenhouse-like structures to keep contaminants out of the water. Fruahofer is turning those greenhouses into solar energy farms in a process known as SHRIMPS, a catchy acronym that stands for the convoluted and overly complex title “Solar-Aquaculture Habitats as Resource Efficient and Integrated Multilayer Production Systems.”
Boeing Biofuel Breakthrough — This Is A BIG Deal (Interview With Boeing’s Biofuel Director)

An Aeroponic Green Thumb: Click and Grow
If the complexity of your life has not admitted the capacity to grow a plant, and you long to, then Click and Grow aeroponics can be your secret green thumb.
Aquaponics a Sustainable Food Alternative
With food prices rising and access to water and land limited in many parts of the world, many are looking at food production alternatives, one of them called aquaponics.
“Cascading” Geothermal Energy Could Revive Small Towns with New Green Jobs
Part of a new U.S. Department of Energy grant for innovative geothermal technology is going to a project that could help small towns and mid-sized cities generate low cost local power, cut their carbon footprint, create new green jobs, and even develop local sources for fish and produce.
Scientist Grows Fish in Hell's Kitchen, Vegetables in Prison
For a glimpse into the future of urban farming, take a look inside a Hell’s Kitchen high school campus, a former public school in the Bronx, or even a nearby prison on Rikers Island. Either way, you’ll see the hand of Cornell University horticulture specialist Philson Warner at work. Warner … [continued]
