Philson Warner, Cornell University Cooperative Extension associate, founded the Cornell Hydroponics, Aquaculture and Aquaponics Learning Labs at Food and Finance High School, an Eco-School in Manhattan.
"Our greenhouse—with its mutually sustainable hydroponic and aquaculture systems—is used for teaching, food production and as a science hub for the New York City area. Using minimal energy, it may even contribute to the city's power grid," says Warner.
