Aquaponics involves the integration of aquaculture and hydroponics, which includes the conversion of fish wastes into plant fertilizers and the use of these nutrients by the plants which purifies the water and makes it suitable for fish farming. This farming system offers numerous environmental benefits such as considerably lesser consumption of water than that required in the traditional soil-based farming and the negligible usage of toxic fertilizers and pesticides. In addition to these benefits, this system provides the provision of fodder for the animals. 

 

Some of the major factors fueling the demand for these farming methods are the shortage of phosphorous and freshwater reserves and the burgeoning requirement for sustainable food production techniques. Additionally, the rising concerns being raised over the environmental damage caused due to the utilization of toxic chemicals and pesticides in the conventional farming methods are boosting the need for aquaponic systems as these systems don’t require much water and fertilizers. Moreover, these systems recycle the nutrients in a closed-loop manner, which, in turn, results in water conservation.

Apart from being extremely eco-friendly, the aquaponics systems also cause faster plant growth as compared to the traditional farming methods. This is because of the easily availability of water from the nearby fish tank. Furthermore, these systems don’t need fertile soil or any farmlands for crop cultivation and can be easily adopted in regions having gravel, rocky, or sand surfaces. In addition to this, these agricultural systems produce healthier and organic yields, on account of the negligible usage of chemical pesticides and fertilizers in these methods.
