What's For Dinner?

Tonight's Guest: Rodrigo Marciacq Rodrigo Marciacq has been a successful pioneer of hydroponics in Panama for the last 15 years of his 50 years of farming. What's For Dinner visited Rodrigo's greenhouses north of Boquete, where he raises 3/4 of an acre of hydroponic lettuces, grossing the equivalent of $250,000 per acre. After attending Texas A & M for a degree in agronomy, he worked for Chase Bank in Panama, grew coffee, and then onions, finally achieving a yield four times the average US commercial harvests, and without pesticide and herbicide use. With the kind of holistic view of farming you'd hear from a speaker at a U.S. organic farming conference, Rodrigo mentors other farmers as well as maintaining his own successful business.
