TV Show with Segment on Randolph Community College Aquaponics Lab to Air Nov. 21 on Fox 8

The story of Randolph Community College’s Aquaponics Lab will be told in a nationally syndicated television show called Xploration Earth 2050. The show is part of a two-hour block of science programming called Xploration Station that airs on Fox affiliates throughout the country. The show with RCC’s segment, titled “The Fascinating Future of Growing Food,” will air locally from 8-8:30 a.m., Saturday, Nov. 21, on WGHP-TV Fox 8.

The series, which has been nominated for a Daytime Emmy Special Class Series, is produced by Steve Rotfeld Productions in Bryn Mawr, Pa. One of the show’s producers, Merv Jones, and host Chuck Pell visited RCC’s Aquaponics Lab in March 2015 to film the segments, talking to RCC faculty, staff and students about the project. RCC’s Aquaponics Lab is a working model of a food production system that raises fish and plants together. The project is led by RCC science department head Bryan Marbert and lab facilitator Kevin Jones.
