Continental Organics Continental Organics, an expanding business bringing new meaning to the concept of local food by raising tilapia and coho salmon in an “aquaponics” system that also generates year-round greens, tomatoes and rich compost. I shot this video on Monday to show during a lecture at a University of Illinois conference exploring how to feed 9 billion people by 2050 or so with the fewest environmental regrets. I noted the need for variegated approaches to agriculture, including a mix of technology and tradition. I’ll post on my talk soon.
