Aquaponics is a sustainable method of food production that combines aquaculture (raising fish) with hydroponics (growing plants in water) in a symbiotic environment. In an aquaponics system, fish waste provides nutrients for the plants, while the plants filter and clean the water for the fish. This closed-loop system reduces the need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides, conserves water, and produces both fish and plants in a sustainable and efficient manner. Aquaponics can be implemented in a variety of scales, from small home systems to large commercial operations. It is particularly useful in urban areas where space is limited, as it allows for the production of fresh food in a compact, efficient setup. By incorporating aquaponics into landscape design, landscapers can create productive, sustainable gardens that contribute to food security and environmental stewardship.
