How This Aquaponics Farmer Is Reinventing Urban Agriculture

Amazing!!! So glad to know you are out there doing this in the world and bringing knowledge and food to the youths!

I can't believe she 43 years old!!😮

Beautiful stuff.

she is an absolute inspiration!

Just wow! ❤❤❤

I am going to do this with weed. thank you for the brilliant way of thinking.

Thank you Yemi for sharing your personal story, and Oko Farms. You are so inspiring for the multiple positive impacts you're having in your local community and now, around the world as your story travels! I understand Aquaponics better now thanks to your great explanation. The Chinampas of Xochimilco in Mexico City are still in use today. The knowledge is available to create a good life for humanity, leaving behind what we received. Thank you for reminding that Healing the Earth is possible. Great job to the crew and PBS for this hopeful story with Yemi, who radiates beauty and empowering expertise.

Your voice is soothing

She is wonderful. You can tell she's happy by the way she always laughing while talking.

Thank you ❤

Excellent!
I want to be like her when I grow up!

Amazing..why not raise fish for food tho?

OMG I loved this. I applauded this young woman for her higher spirit and ❤️! Truly a visionary and a beautiful benefit to her fellow man. She has taken us back to learning the basics of the earth and sustainability of the humans race.✨ would love to go and learn at her farm. ✨

Simply inspiring!! Way to go Yemi. You Rock !! Thank you PBS for highlighting stories like this and talking about what is possible. Love 💕

Fruit trees for shade, and other fruiting vine plants for shade,fish harvests, algae eating fish and crustations

Aquaponics food does not have the equivalent level of nutrients in food that's grown from the ground when the soil is healthy and undisturbed. But it sure as heck beats starvation.

Thank you Yemi and thanks to PBS for sharing your story.

Watched this again and just noticed the land acknowledgement! NICE!

Great video! I'm so inspired ✨️

What happened to these? I thought one was being released every month. 😢 I have looked forward to and watched them all.

Truly an intelligent Goddes of Nigeria 🇳🇬 👏🏿 amen. Her smile alone can save the hood.

Wow I love this lady, she’s super cool. This is what we should be teaching our children not what gender they think they should be.

Brilliant method of balancing ecosystem to advantage of humans. ❤ Kudos...to such venture ❤

amazing! the more people grow their own, the harder it will be for the WEF types to force all of us on their dystopian "diet".

I recently rented a house here in Manzanillo, Colima, México to open an animal refuge and urban farm too. I will love to set up aquaponic system like this and incorporate composting, soil based production also as well as raising ducks for eggs to feed me and the animals as well as breeding the fish for feed for the cats, dogs, etc too.

You are an inspiration! Thank you for paving the way for a better world.

can you use edible fish instead koi?

gold against her black skin is divine. This is the 1st occupation God gave man as a result of the curse- and still beauty and grace is in it. But alot of work😊

Life changing! ❤ 💐Namaste

How much power does the system require per year? Also what happens with the system when the power goes out?

So the system requires fossil fuel to operate, a rough estimate suggests the food produced is not much compared to the power (fossil fuels consumed). Im interested in systems that limit or lower fossil feel use and extraction since thats heating the climate.

If you want other unconventional ways to grow food, read the book " A Nation of Farmers." If people could use a variety of growing methods in one neighborhood with different foods, then we would have a safer and healthier food supply. I am a Master Garden in Texas, and I breed and raise meat goats. Since I do have a small pond, I will have to think about doing the aquaponics there!

Can't overestimate her, she's running a space station food production system.

What an inspiration this woman is! Thank you Yemi.

Please clone yourself

What an inspiring lady. She makes me feel hopeful.

Boy, I'm just some lad from germany but you inspire and your style is fabulous. way to go. Wanna do this someday!

I wonder when it will be possible to avoid plastic in her / their process. I also wonder what the non-liquid composting is like there. She said that the soil isn't soil. What does that mean? If she can effectively manage those questions then that farm and her experience might make her one of the leading farmers of the world. One thousand years from now she might in another lifetime be the leader of remote outpost interstellar agriculture. ❤

What a smart lady!

Wow! I'm so glad you're doing this. Thank you.

I like the idea, but not the fish price being in a box.

So, so, so so, proud of you Yemi. From one Nigerian woman to another - God bless you.

🤢🤢🤢🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

I love this Beautiful, articulate, intelligent, no nonsense, scientific sista here. Go head girl, go head get down.

It seems you could also use tilapia instead of koi so that you can use them for food as well, if the tanks become over-populated.

Im currently studying bfsc and i swear you explained aquaponics in 10 min than my prof could ever explain in 3 hrs

She started off good then decided to take a shit on the video with a race and aquaponics delusion.

This is such a cool an innovative way of farming. I love it

Please teach this to Africans do they can be more self sufficient in their food production.
