Aquaponics

Aquaponics is the combination of more traditional food production methods and uses both aquaculture and hydroponics in order to grow food naturally for personal consumption. Aquaculture is based on raising fish while hydroponics is based on raising vegetables in water. Aquaponics uses both methods to provide the essential elements for each to be successful.

One of the best features of aquaponics is the inherent benefits it contains in providing protein and vegetables for a well-balanced food source - all at the same time.

Aquaponic farming-raising fish and vegetables together commercially-is the most promising innovation for a sustainable, profitable, localized food system. Until now, systems have largely focused on warm-water fish such as tilapia. A lack of reliable information for raising fish and vegetables in the cool climates of north america and europe has been a major stumbling block. The aquaponic farmer is the game changer.
