Aquaponics
AQUAPONICS is the integration of two agricultural practices, Aquaculture and Hydroponics
which yields a farming system that provides plant crops and fish. The methodology does
not utilize artificial fertilizers.
Aquaculture – The cultivation of aquatic organisms under controlled or semi controlled
conditions.
Hydroponics – Growing of plants in an inert media (soil less) using a
nutrient rich chemical based solution .
The combination of these agricultural methods create a hybrid
system that is efficient, natural and environmentally friendly.

Uses 80%
less water for plant production than traditional
farming methods.

recirculating
methodology. (0.7 lbs per gallon)
Increased yield & faster growth rates
of fish and plants due

Can obtain fish and plant
production year round.
Natural Pest control by intercropping
with Allelopathic plants.
Low maintenance (Therefore no
