ABOUT Aquaponics
Aquaponics is a complete life circle; where aquaculture (raising fish) and hydroponics (the soil-less growing of plants) systems are integrated. The fish waste provides the necessary organic fertilizers, while the plants provide a natural filter for the water for the fish live in. Aquaponics provides sustainable production of organic greens and fish.
