Aquaponics


A small, portable aquaponics system
Aquaponics is a sustainable food production system that combines a traditional aquaculture (raising aquatic animals such as fish, crayfish or prawns in tanks) with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water) in a symbiotic environment. In the aquaculture, effluents accumulate in the water, increasing toxicity for the fish. This water is led to a hydroponic system where the by-products from the aquaculture are filtered out by the plants as vital nutrients, after which the cleansed water is recirculated back to the animals. The term aquaponics is a portmanteau of the terms aquaculture and hydroponic.

Hydroponics 101


Why would a third-generation Florida strawberry farmer, who learned his craft at the knees of one of the state’s most respected growers, switch from field-grown berries to hydroponics?

It’s the numbers, says Gary Parke – plus it’s a lot less work.

First the numbers:

  • He grows 54,000 plants on a half-acre instead of three.
  • Each of those plants yields nearly four pounds, compared to an average of about one pound per plant grown in the field.
