A great solution to food waste, here's how to turn compost into excellent food for farmed fish. The trick is maggots, feeding the compost to fly larvae and then feeding the maggots to fish. May not sound yummy, but insects are a natural food source for many freshwater fish.

Sustainable seafood...from China
Who knew that China is a world leader in seafood sustainability?
Check out this video about some fascinating low footprint fish farms in China, using integrated farming methods that date back more than one thousand years!
The video above is the 60 second promo, and below you'll find the full 8 minute video.
Fish, mulberry plants, and silkworms are grown together and the waste of one process feeds the next step.
BTW, in case you wondered what I've been doing lately, now you know, helping to turn over interesting stories and make some videos.

China leads world in aquaculture
China grows more farmed fish than anyone else, see bizarre-looking graphic below to get a real feeling for the situation.
What does this mean? Anyone who wants to advance sustainable aquaculture needs to succeed in China. Next question, can outsiders matter in Chinese aquaculture, or will change only come from within?
