The Farming Technique That Could Revolutionize the Way We Eat
The fusion of aquaculture with hydroponics results in what could be a promising future for sustainable agriculture. Not only does aquaponics promise circular recycling, whereby wastewater feeds plants and then returns, detoxified, to grow more fish, but its double cropping could be key to food security for global coastal agriculture. Aquaponics is a combination of hydroponics and aquaculture systems, which grows plants and fish together in one unified system. The cycle of aquaponics includes the waste produce by fishes which is being used as organic food for plants and then these plants will naturally filter the water, which will be used for the fishes again. The rise in the demand for organic fruits and vegetables, and these systems permit agriculture to take substantial steps toward environmental sustainability are the drivers of the aquaponics market. The factor that can act as a restraint in the growth of the market is the high cost of the initial setup of the aquaponics sy
