A New Wave of Farming Comes to Colorado
Four years ago, three high-school advanced technology students showed teacher Dave Scott their senior project plan for a 2,500 ft2 structure that they wanted to design, build, and use as a working aquaculture and hydroponics laboratory. He thought, “Why not?”
This was the latest wave of agriculture, a logical modern outgrowth of the farming and animal raising that are longtime traditions of the Colorado high country. “This is the new nature of things,” Scott says. “With the land being turned into golf courses and such, these are new forms of agriculture. Technology like this will eventually feed the world.”
