Aquaponics combines hydroponics with aquaculture. In aquaponics systems, the fish are fed, the waste is broken down by natural bacteria and the nutrients are available to the plants. The roots of the plants take up the nutrients directly from the water and so clean the water. The same 'plant filtered' water then goes back to the fish tanks.
Aquaponics is an economical and compact system of farming that has the potential for providing local communities and families with healthy sustainable food sources, while conserving water, utilizing captured water, and providing potable water. This impacts remote or impoverished communities who may have limited access to clean drinking water or fresh food.
