Alumnus finds solutions for food insecurity through aquaponics<http://phys.org/news/2014-11-alumnus-solutions-food-insecurity-aquaponics.html> (Phys.Org, 11/19) During a routine stop at a grocery store, Miles Medina MS-14 had a random thought.  Why couldn't the store grow the very produce it sells on its roof?  That random thought led Medina to explore the world of aquaponics, a journey that has earned him first place for his master's thesis in "Outstanding Thesis in Food and Agricultural Science Competition," co-hosted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA).
