For decades, biologists have read and edited DNA, the code of life. Revolutionary developments are giving scientists the power to write it. Instead of tinkering with existing life forms, synthetic biologists may be on the verge of writing the DNA of a living organism from scratch. In the next decade, according to some, we may even see the first synthetic human genome. Join a distinguished group of synthetic biologists, geneticists and bioengineers who are edging closer to breathing life into matter.

This program is part of the Big Ideas Series, made possible with support from the John Templeton Foundation.

Dragon fruit is an exotic cactus that is found in Asia, Mexico, and parts of South America. It is not grown in North America or Africa, which is why the plant is not as common in these regions. Dragon fruit can be planted as ornamental plants, but they do bare delicious fruit that is rather tasty.

Which is why I was pleasantly surprised to see it growing pretty well in my Country Nigeria. Again, this is another confirmation to the humungous potentials of our country

Aquaponics combines two growing methods, aquaculture and hydroponics, to create a self-contained, well-balanced ecosystem. Fish are fed and raised in a tank and as gravity pulls the wastewater through a hydroponic garden, bacteria feed on the waste, breaking it down into essential nutrients for the plants to grow. The system then returns the cleaned water back to the fish reservoir so the process can begin again.

In this episode, Charles Collins shares his backyard aquaponic and hydroponic gardens where he's able to grow tilapia, leafy greens, peppers, herbs and so much more, all in the suburban desert. Together we grow!

ABOUT PARAGRAPHIC

A story is more than a title. We are a small team of independent filmmakers focused on emerging interests. We love exploring the wide landscape of these enthusiast communities through personal stories from their most passionate creators. The underdog, the obsessed, the misunderstood, the ones who have committed everything to their craft. For them it's more than a hobby; it's a way of life.

From garage bakeries and gourmet mushrooms to vertical farming and worm composting, these stories will elevate your understanding and deepen your appreciation.

Look beyond the impression.

⁣When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1990, Cuba's economy went into a tailspin. With imports of oil cut by more than half – and food by 80 percent – people were desperate. This film tells of the hardships and struggles as well as the community and creativity of the Cuban people during this difficult time. Cubans share how they transitioned from a highly mechanized, industrial agricultural system to one using organic methods of farming and local, urban gardens. It is an unusual look into the Cuban culture during this economic crisis, which they call "The Special Period." The film opens with a short history of Peak Oil, a term for the time in our history when world oil production will reach its all-time peak and begin to decline forever. Cuba, the only country that has faced such a crisis – the massive reduction of fossil fuels – is an example of options and hope.

The Food and Agriculture Organisation FAO, is calling for the transformation of Africa’s agri-food system to make healthy diets more affordable. A new report shows Africans are missing out on the nutritiuos foods such as fruits, vegetables and animal proteins due to high costs. The report also shows the number of undernourished in the continent has risen to over two hundred and fifty million people.
