In Louisiana, more than 18 percent of households didn’t have access to healthy food in 2015. Responding to this widespread urban food insecurity, Marianne Cufone of New Orleans created what she calls a “recirculating farm”: she grows plants in closely packed, vertically stacked sections, while fishponds provide water cycling, eliminating the need for soil. The farm is cost and energy efficient and can be recreated anywhere, expanding urban farming in an entirely new direction. Photo credit: Grist50!
