Aquaponics

Picture
  Aquaponics uses less than 2% of the water that traditional farming does.

  Aquaponics is energy-efficient: our current systems use one-tenth of the energy conventional farming does!


  Aquaponics has eight to ten times more vegetable production in the same area and time!

Aquaponics can feed the world with energy-efficient, sustainable food-production methods.

Aquaponics is the integration of aquaculture (fishkeeping) and hydroponic (soilless) plant growth techniques.  It requires no soil and no chemicals to produce a vast and large amount of fish, fruits and vegetables in a very small space.  Fish produce ammonia as waste.  Bacteria convert that waste to nitrates used by the plants as the nutrient source.  The water is recirculated to the fish clean and aerated.  Water consumption is lower and plant density is usually at least twice that of soil based methods!

This larger facility is simple to maintain and can produce much more food that the same amount of land growth.

Plants like this one in Kenya may one day bless the people of Haiti with hundreds of pounds of food every month!
