The quality of food and amount of space available is steadily declining. Nutrition has been dipping to dangerous levels while the population increases, leaving very little space for people to move about.
This affects the quality of your food because smaller farms may not be able to cope with the demand and keep standards consistent.
This is where organic aquaponics comes into play. This merges two popular farming techniques, aquaculture and hydroponics; the first raises fish while the second uses the nutrient solution as soil for the plants.
It is a system that lets you cultivate fish and nurture vegetables in a controlled and natural environment. Both plant and fish give off nutrition that mixes with the water
Plants receive water that has fish waste in it. The plants absorb and filter the waste before returning it to the fish, now as nutrition. This is a cycle so you do not need to meddle with anything.
The system sustains itself so all you need to do is to feed the fish and expose the plants to ample sunlight. The processed nutrition shall make them grow faster.
Multiple systems do not occupy a lot of space
This is good news for homeowners and businessmen because you do not need to allow too much space for organic aquaponics. You do need a power source, water and a water pump, large food-safe containers and a fish tank, PVC pipes, and a medium for planting. These are easy to get because they are available in hardware, hobby, and pet stores.
All you need to know now is the assembly process of the entire system. You can refer to the internet for directions and tips/strategies to design aquaponics. There are a lot of Do-It-Yourself articles online that show how to build one.
Refer to them for guidance pre-assembly to properly build one. They may know a thing or two about crafting the system better than what you have planned.
You can have multiple systems without using up too much space. They can be stacked on top of each other to maximize space. Multiple aquariums can be linked with each other so you can have more space for the fish to move.
You can have the medium located outside of your house to get more sunlight. It also helps you navigate through your systems better. You just need a very long piece of PVC to connect the medium to the fishes and you’re set.
How does this benefit you?
Aquaponics will make you realize that you have been making a lot of bad decisions regarding your health. It will specifically make you regret eating non-organic fish and vegetables.
You have your reasons and they may all have been valid or not at that time. But not this time, not with aquaponics installed in your house or business.
The system banks on a cycle of nutrition. On one hand you have the fish waste being absorbed and filtered by the plants, while on the other hand you have the fish feeding on what the plants processed. The nutrients mix with the water so they are evenly distributed throughout the system.
This makes organic aquaponics beneficial in your life because they create many health benefits. You do not need to rely on fish sold in the market anymore since you breed your own at home.
It is also a viable business you can introduce to your friends and peers. Aquaponics lets them gather their own food naturally, with fish and vegetables free from additives and chemicals that are usually used by the seller.
By letting others know that this can save their life in one way or another, you can profit out of this simple and revolutionary method of growing food.
You help others improve their diet by giving them a means to supply food on their own. Food that does not have anything mixed in them except waste and byproducts that were recycled into additional nutrition.
Save the Earth
Building an aquaponics system can save the earth because it leads to less pesticide use by farmers. Fishermen will have to resort to “cleaner” methods to regain lost customers.
You avoid the consequences of these actions by growing and keeping your own food under constant nourishment without harmful chemicals.
There are hundreds of designs available online that you can choose from when you want to build an aquaponics system for your home or business. You can choose to buy or build one yourself.
Regardless of your choice, the end product will always be geared toward a better future for the planet and yourself.
