Aquaponics-The Future of Food

For the past 4 years, they have been doing R&D on Aquaponics System to provide a solution on sustainable agriculture and food security besides to create awareness to general publics on importance of healthy way of agriculture and conserve environment.

Aquaponics is a combination of Aquaculture and Hydroponics which establishes mutually beneficial relationship in an ecosystem. The system enables food security and future sustainable Agriculture Development.

Aquaponics allows fish and plants to be in one symbiotic system. Water in fish tank contains feces, ammonia etc. if these are discharged directly to lake and land, they will create burden on the environment. If we can use wastewater to water vegetables, it provides nutrients to vegetables. Water filtered by vegetables will be recycled back to fish tank.

This balance symbiotic system will avoid water quality to deteriorate. It creates symbiotic relationship between fish and vegetables. The core advantages of aquaponics system include the following:

• Synthetic Chemical Pesticide
