Aquaponic
Aquaponics is a sustainable food production system that combines traditional aquaculture (raising aquatic animals such as fish, shrimp, or crayfish) with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water) in a symbiotic environment. This integrated approach allows for the cultivation of fish and plants in a recirculating system, reducing the need for soil, and minimizing water usage compared to conventional farming methods.
In aquaponics systems, fish produce nutrient-rich waste that is biologically converted by bacteria into inorganic nutrients
Aquaponics offers several benefits, including increased efficiency of water use, reduced need for chemical fertilizers, and
However, aquaponics also faces challenges, such as system complexity, the need for careful balancing of the
Overall, aquaponics is considered an innovative approach to sustainable agriculture, promoting environmental conservation, and enabling local
