What’s in it

This bill requires Iowa state university of science and technology (ISU) in cooperation with the department of agriculture and land stewardship (DALS) to study the feasibility of using aquaponic integrated production systems in rural and urban communities. ISU and DALS must prepare and submit a report including findings and recommendations to the governor and general assembly by January 10, 2020. Aquaponics combines hydroponic production of plants and aquaculture production of fish into an integrated agriculture system.
