FoodChain reconnects people with their food by providing education and demonstration of sustainable, indoor food production. They do this by providing education and demonstration of innovative, sustainable food production inside of an old bread factory in downtown Lexington, KY. This facility operates the state’s only indoor aquaponics system, where they’ve grown over a ton of leafy greens and a thousand pounds of tilapia, while using only 5 percent of the water of conventional farming. They use spent grain from the neighboring brewery to manufacture their fish feed and sell their harvested food to a restaurant who’s kitchen door opens into the indoor farm. They host hundreds of tours every year for school children, workplace outings, out-of-town visitors, and senior groups.
