Aquaponics is a sustainable farming method that combines aquaculture (raising fish) and hydroponics (growing plants in water without soil) in a symbiotic environment.
Aquaponics conserves water, reduces the need for chemical fertilizers, and can be established in urban settings, reducing food transport distances.
Common choices include Tilapia, Trout, and Carp, but the selection can vary based on climate and local regulations.
Leafy greens like lettuce and spinach, herbs, and some fruit-bearing plants like tomatoes and strawberries thrive in aquaponics systems.
Aquaponics can be organic if organic fish feed is used and no chemical pesticides or fertilizers are introduced into the system.
Daily feeding of fish, monitoring of water quality, and regular inspection of plants and equipment are required.
In aquaponics, water is recirculated and reused, leading to up to 90% less water usage compared to traditional soil-based agriculture.
Aquaponics conserves water, reduces the need for chemical fertilizers, and can be established in urban settings, reducing food transport distances.
The cost varies based on the size and complexity of the system. Initial investment may include tanks, pumps, grow beds, and fish.
