Aquaponics is an innovative farming method that combines aquaculture (raising fish) with hydroponics (growing plants without soil). This integrated system creates a symbiotic environment where fish waste provides nutrients for plants, and plants help filter and clean the water for the fish.
The technology supports organic farming by reducing the need for synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. It also conserves water, as the system recycles it, making it a resource-efficient solution for food production.
Aquaponics systems can be implemented in various scales, from small backyard setups to large commercial operations. As the technology becomes more refined, it offers a sustainable and productive way to grow organic food while promoting environmental stewardship.
