Show Notes
Dr. Russell Sharp examines a UNDP-led hydroponics project in the Aral Sea region that grows fast, soilless wheat and alfalfa fodder to address polluted, infertile land and livestock feed shortages.
The episode covers the simple LED-and-tray systems, rapid harvest cycles, nutritional gains for animals, women-led household adoption, Japanese funding, and the project’s social and environmental benefits.
