When the first recording didn’t go as planned, we didn’t miss a beat—we swam with the current and came back stronger. 🌊✨ In this episode, we’re turning technical hiccups into deeper dives and more insights.

Join us as we sit down with Federico Marques, CEO of Moonflower Farms, Houston’s trailblazing vertical hydroponic operation. With a mission to provide hyper-local, sustainable smart farm solutions, Federico is cultivating a new blueprint for food production right in the heart of the city.

In this episode of The Business of Aquaculture, we explore:

  • The turning point that convinced Federico vertical farming could scale in a metropolis like Houston
  • How urban agriculture can help solve food insecurity and mitigate climate stress
  • The real talk around energy use, profitability, and what success looks like over the next 5 years for Moonflower Farms

Whether you're in aquaculture, agriculture, or simply hungry for solutions, this episode offers a fresh perspective on how innovation is reshaping food systems from the ground up—even when the ground is concrete.

🎧 Tune in now and see how bold ideas take root in the unlikeliest of places.
