Aquaponics
Certainly the future of agriculture! Be a pioneer!
What is Aquaponics?
It’s an innovative growing method that combines two techniques: aquaculture and hydroponics. Aquaculture involves raising fish and other aquatic animals, while hydroponics is the art of growing plants without soil.
Aquaponics uses significantly less water than traditional agriculture because the water is continuously recycled within the system. Et comme il n’y a pas de sol, il n’y a pas de mauvaises herbes, réduisant ainsi le besoin de pesticides.
This concept can be adapted to any scale, from small domestic systems to large commercial installations, and can be used in a variety of environments, from urban areas to arid regions.
How does it work?
In an aquaponics system, the waste produced by the fish is transformed into nutrients for the plants through beneficial bacteria. The plants absorb these nutrients, helping to filter and clean the water.
The water is then pumped back into the fish tank. This endless cycle generates a balanced, self-sustaining ecosystem.
Fish produce water pollution. A natural bacterial flora transforms this pollution into nutrients necessary for plant growth.
This technique combines aquaculture with growing plants in water. It is an ecological and natural way to produce food.
The following parts are covered:
- What is the difference to hydroponics?
- Build your own aquaponics system
- Aquaponics with fish pond
- Aquaponics farms
In this symbiotic environment, water and nutrients are used and recycled to their maximum. This means we can produce healthy, pesticide-free products that are fresh, local and in season.
