WHAT IS
AQUAPONICS?

Aquaponics is an advanced version of
hydroponics. Hydroponics means
growing plants without soil.
Aquaponics is a combination of
growing aquatic animals along with
hydroponics. Aquaponics is a two
technique in which plants take
nutrients from aquatic animals’ waste
and clean the water in return for the
animals.

ORGANIC FOOD AQUAPONICSIN ORGANIC
PRODUCTION FOOD PRODUCTION

Aquaponics is a breakthrough
in sustainable organic food
production. It is the best
technique for growing crops
that uses minimal water and
nutrients. Plants use water
for growth and at the same
time recycle it by taking the
animal waste (that serves as
nutrients). No water is lost
or thrown in this process.

NATURAL
IN SOIL AND WATER

Nitrogen cycling is natural in soil and water. It happens in all water bodies
around the world. Aquaponics is the natural process of oxidizing bacterial
ammonia into nitrates. The process starts with ammonia present in an
aquaponics system. Ammonia is a compound that is formed by the combination
of nitrogen and hydrogen. In an aquaponics system, this ammonia is produced
in the form of feces, urine, and respiration from gills. Ammonia can also be
added in liquid or powdered form in an aquaponics system.

Toxic Ammonia

Ammonia is toxic for fish. Just like our wastes are toxic for us. But on
the other hand, it is essential for plants. The cycling process makes
this ammonia less toxic by converting it into nitrate. This nitrate can
easily be digested by plants and makes them grow.

Benefits Aquaponics is a way to grow fish and vegetables together using
of less water and no chemical fertilizers. You just have to feed the
an fish and the fish will feed the plants.
Aquaponic farms use 1% water in comparison to soil farms.
Aquaponics There is no need to use pesticides and chemicals since there is
System no fear of pests and crop insects.
Aquaponics helps grow healthier and nutrient rich vegetables.
Since there is no soil in aquaponics. Hence your crops will be
safe from soil-borne diseases.

You can harvest more yield of crops from a very small space.
Plants grow fast as they grow in the nutrient-rich solution
provided by the fish waste.
It helps grow fish as well as plants. So, you can grow two types
of foods from one system in a small space.
As the water gets recycled and cleaned hence it remains in its
purest form.

Home based Farms

You can have your simple
aquaponics system at home.
There are several guides
available on the internet
where you can learn how to
design you aquaponics
garden. Having your own
farm at home can be
helpful especially if you
need to have fresh and
healthy vegetables every
