Could a Common Plant Native to the Eastern US Help with Food Insecurit

After a study was done by NASA, it became clear that ferns are some of the best natural air filters, helping to absorb CO2 and turn it into oxygen.  But ferns aren't just good for air filtration. According to an article from Penn State University, There is an aquatic fern commonly called "azolla", "mosquito fern", or "
