INDIA AQUAPONICS

Aquaponics is an amalgam of "Aquaculture" & "Hydroponics" resulting in sustainable food production system. This technique of growing food is based on natural process called "NITROGEN CYCLE" where ammonia excreted by fishes is broken down into useful nutrients. These nutrients are then being absorbed by plants for their growth and water is re-circulated back into the system... In comparison to conventional farming or using chemical base solutions/ nutrients to grow plants, Aquaponics uses nutrient rich fish effluent water that contains almost all the nutrients for optimal growth. There is no loss of water or need to discharge water into drain as plants clean and purify the water that can be recirculated back to the fish tank. The water is only added to the system to cover the loss through transpiration and evaporation.
