She sees aquaponics (the combination of co-dependently raising fish and plants without depending on ground soil or chemicals, and using fish waste as fertilizer) as an essential step toward sustainability, repairing the planet, and ending hunger. TenBroeck is putting the practice to work in Northeast Florida, starting from Worldwide Aquaponics, the company she heads, centered on a 30-acre farm on School Road in East Palatka. Her operation pushed some 2.2 million pounds of produce into Flagler, St. Johns, Putnam, Duvall, Nassau, and Clay, counties in 2021. “We could put these farms all over the world. And… Grow food as we’ve never grown food before, that’s high quality, lasts longer, tastes better, chemical free. And we can do this very simply. TenBroeck has taught innovative curriculums focused on students interested in professionalizing in medicine or coastal sciences; her initiatives pair entrepreneurship with a social mission. One of those is to channel “reemerging citizens”– formerly incarcerated individuals, veterans, people in recovery, women starting over – into farming enterprises.
