Much of our food is shipped from long distances, from rural areas or from farms in distant countries. Thex000D
concept of urban farming is being championed more and more because of the energy and money savingsx000D
involved, and also the because of the involvment of locals with the production of ones food. One promisingx000D
idea for food production is that of aquaponics, the combination of fish raising facilities and plant growthx000D
platforms for salad and herb greens. By combining the two systems, plants can grow on fish waster and purifyx000D
it at the same for reuse for the fish. One drawback is that plants grow better in the company of bacterialx000D
associates, normally derived from soil, that can move into their tissues and help provide growth hormones andx000D
molecules to help capture nutrients. This research is aimed at screening bacteria for their abilities to improvex000D
the salad green and herb germination, growth and nutrient acquisition rates in aquaponics systems.
