Aquaponics is more than a growing trend. It is a burgeoning industry that is expanding all over the globe. This highly sustainable closed-loop ecosystem creates the optimum environment for fish and plants to thrive naturally. This growing technique grows pure, chemical free food free of pesticides and fertilizers. Using only 10% of the water that is required in conventional agriculture, aquaponics also uses less water than the aquaculture and hydroponic industries as there is no discharge or water exchanges required.
We heard from some of the top commercial growers, innovators and educators in this emerging green industry and discovered what challenges and opportunities aquaponics presents in rural, suburban and urban areas. Attendees were able to network, connect and learn from aquaponics pioneers and found out how to get involved in this growing movement.
