"Aquaculture is currently the fastest growing animal food production sector and will soon supply more than half of the world's seafood for human consumption". It has been used in many different cultures, mainly for food production and removal of toxic wastes, like those produced by landfills.
Use 1/6th of the water to grow 8 times more food per acre compared to traditional agriculture! All natural fertilizer source from fish waste. No reliance on mined and manufactured fertilizers. Efficient, sustainable and highly productive. Produce is free of pesticides and herbicides.
You combine aquaculture and hydroponics and it creates an ecosystem that passes fish water through plant bedding material. This makes aquaponics a ‘closed system’ and one where water will not be wasted.
The main goal in aquaponic systems is to create plant growth by using aquatic animal waste. Consequently, aquaponics uses the fish waste as a fertilizer for the plants while the plants clean the water for the fish. The plants benefit from the existence of the fish and the other way around.
