Aquaponics farming is like having a team of fish and plants that help each other out. Fish waste provides food for the plants, and the plants keep the water clean for the fish.
It yields six times more than traditional farming, using 90% less water in a controlled, pest-resistant environment. It's cost-effective, needing no artificial fertilizers, making it suitable for small spaces like backyards.
Aquaponics combines aquaculture and hydroponics, utilizing fish waste for plant nutrients, providing a cost-effective and higher-yield approach. This system also requires lower maintenance.
Essential instruments for aquaponics farming: fish tank (size as per goals), air pump for oxygen balance, organic fish feed, pH balancer to counter acidity, and ensuring normal, mineral-rich tap water.
Aquaponics includes Trout, Catfish, Bass, Salmon, Tilapia, and Ornamental Fish, along with Lettuce, Spinach, Herbs, Tomatoes, Strawberries, and various vegetables.
Aquaponics farming is a sustainable, water-efficient, and organic system. It offers year-round cultivation without soil, providing multi-channel income through fish and plant production.
