Aquaponics One up-and-coming idea for sustainable food production is based actually on an ancient concept called aquaponics a system that combines fish farming with plant farming in water.

which has its own aquaponics project. You can eat the fish you can eat the plants

The idea for aquaponics appears to have arisen hundreds of years ago when farmers in Southeast asia found that they could add tilapia to their rice paddy fields to improve production yields according to Michigan Technological University.

Can aquaponics feed the German capital? BERLIN--At the furthest end of a century-old beer brewery yard in Berlin, a shipping container with a greenhouse on top hums with the gentle sound of pumping water.

The fish and produce are all part of a symbiotic farming method called aquaponics, which takes wastewater from the fish

aquaponics is gaining modern traction in places where food transport and water are costly. Here in the middle of Berlin, the single container farm functions as a prototype for Christian Echternacht and Nicolas Leschke, founders of the social business Efficient City Farming (ECF.

Together, the two are looking to bring large-scale aquaponic farming to cities by making it profitable.

aquaponic food won't be allowed to carry either the German or the European union's organic seal on supermarket shelves.

But the aquaponic system is so transparent that you always know exactly where everything comes from.

000 for three weeks of consulting to help the city develop a plan to grow its Šaquaponics  industry.

Aquaponics are closed-circuit food production system. Simply put, fish are raised in a tank of water that circulates from the plants and back into the tank.

We've written about aquaponics before on Smartplanet as a small-scale garden not a scaled-up citywide industry.

But the city isn't starting from scratch with its aquaponics initiative. The nonprofit Growing Power has been influential on larger-scale aquaponics

and a handful of startups are growing food to supply local restaurants. Governing explains how a larger-scale aquaponics industry would play out in Milwaukee:

Plan supporters envision warehouse-sized aquaponics operations that are equipped with sophisticated sensing devices to boost efficiency,

and backed by research that multiplies fish spawning cycles and boosts crop production. These facilities could be housed in vacant buildings in poor neighborhoods,

science and distribution techniques that will move aquaponics out of the basement and into large-scale use.

A full-scale aquaponics industry in Milwaukee might still be years away but they have good roots growing.

Production is based on two systems, aquaponics and aeroponics. Several types of fish, mainly tilapia, are grown in the tanks that feed the aquaponic system

which results in very little water wastage. oewe use about three percent of the water of traditional agriculture and it all recyclable, says Farmedhere CEO Jolanta Hardej in an interview with Designbuildsource

sustainable agriculture called aquaponics a neologism that combines hydroponics (or water-based planting) and aquaculture (fish cultivation)

aquaponics is particularly appealing because it requires 80 to 90 percent less water than traditional growing methods.

In the United states, aquaponics is in its fingerling stage, yet it seems to be increasing in popularity.
