I was reading this article on how the focus around combatting climate change is on 'greenifying' electricity but in actual fact agriculture is almost as big a culprit of greenhouse gas emissions: https://www.gatesnotes.com/Energy/We-should-discuss-soil-as-much-as-coal

The proposals outlined in the article to combat climate change caused by agriculture seem like things that are almost out of reach for the individual though.

I was surprised that there was no mention of aquaponics as a potentially decent contributor to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the agricultural industry, one that is much more accessible to 'everyman'.
