What is Aquaponics?
Aquaponics is a sustainable way of raising both fish and vegetables. It combines aquaculture (raising fish) with hydroponics (growing plants in water) in a symbiotic environment.
Key Benefits
- Resource Efficiency: Aquaponics uses approximately 90% less water than traditional agriculture.
- No Need for Fertilizers: The waste produced by fish provides organic food for the plants, reducing dependency on synthetic fertilizers.
- Pesticide Free: Natural balance reduces the need for chemical pesticides.
- Year-Round Production: Enables consistent production regardless of the season.
- Local Food: Promotes the growth of local fresh food, reducing carbon footprint.
