The folks at Foodchain are doing inspiring work, and a tour brings you up close with the people, science, plants, and fish that are transforming this former bread factory into an indoor, urban farm. Foodchain raises tilapia, which it sells to the adjacent seafood restaurant. And thanks to clever engineering and beneficial bacteria, the fish waste is used to grow beautiful microgreens and lettuces, also for an adjacent restaurant. As if this alone weren't cool enough, the fish food is made from spent grain from the brewery next door (West Sixth). If you are into the local food movement, or you are entertained by applied chemistry and engineering, or if you want to see some really enthusiastic nonprofit employees talking about what they love, check out Foodchain. It's good stuff all around. read more
