Aquaponics, as defined by a paper written in collaboration by the Food and Agriculture Organization and SmartFish, involves the raising of both plants and aquatic animals in an ecosystem that is continuously recycled. The phrase "aquaponics" is a combination of the words "aquaculture," which refers to the process of raising fish in an enclosed habitat, and "hydroponics," which refers to the cultivation of plants without soil (the growing of plants usually in a soil-less...
More DescriptionAquaponics, as defined by a paper written in collaboration by the Food and Agriculture Organization and SmartFish, involves the raising of both plants and aquatic animals in an ecosystem that is continuously recycled.
The phrase "aquaponics" is a combination of the words "aquaculture," which refers to the process of raising fish in an enclosed habitat, and "hydroponics," which refers to the cultivation of plants without soil (the growing of plants usually in a soil-less environment).
There is a wide range of sizes available for aquaponic systems, from little indoor units to enormous commercial ones. Moreover, they may be freshwater systems, as well as systems that contain salt water or brackish water.
Aquaponics is a way of farming that combines the advantages of aquaculture and hydroponics in one farming technique. The waste that fish create is converted into nitrate by microorganisms known as nitrifiers. After that, they become an organic source of nutrients for the plants to draw from.
The water is filtered by going through a part that grows hydroponically grown plants, and after that, it is recirculated back into the fish tank to be used again.
A natural ecosystem that continuously recycles water is at the heart of an aquaponics system, which results in a water consumption that is 90 percent lower than that of conventional farming.
Additionally, there is no need for any kind of pesticides, fertilizers, or herbicides because the system is self-sufficient and requires very little upkeep.
Aquaponics systems are sustainable and environmentally benign because there is no production of hazardous waste or runoff from the use of chemicals in the system.
In the end, aquaponics systems can assist urban food growers in increasing the amount of food they produce.
Both fish, which can be used as a source of protein, and fresh plant food can be harvested to accomplish this goal.
