Integrated Aquaponics System in Kerala, India
Some benefits of this system:
- Much higher and faster growth and yield
- Uses 98% less water
- Uses very little land
- No chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides or antibiotics
- No pollution of water, land or atmosphere
- Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA) subscription model – the local families get lower food price and we get predictability
- Grow a wide variety of vegetables, fish and fruits all at once
- Can be any size: to feed one person, a family, a neighborhood, or large commercial to feed towns and cities
- No tilling or weeding. Automated irrigation. Far less amount of labor required overall.
- Can readily integrate any other good agricultural practice into the system
