Aquaponics – combining sustainability and resilience for a relieable food security
Original language description
Aquaculture is the fastest-growing food production sector globally and must meet bioeconomic demands. In principle, aquaponics, the combination of aquaculture and horticulture within a single recirculating aquaponic system (SRAPS), provides a sustainable approach; however, it has lower fish and plant productivity than separate units. Our new concept for aquaponics aims to improve sustainability and productivity concomitant with lowering environmental emissions. The double recirculation aquaponic system (DRAPS) can provide optimum conditions for both parts to increase productivity and prevent adverse interactions between plant and fish units. Both systems are connected by a 1-way valve to deliver fish water containing nutrients into the hydroponic reservoir, where the fish water can be optimized as fertilizer to meet specific demands of the plant species. Thus, DRAPS improves sustainability and productivity while lowering environmental emissions and might promote future application of aquaponics for food security.
