Aquaponics - The Future Farm

Aquaponic systems may vary greatly in size, you may assemble one in your backyard or you may walk through large commercial units. However, they use the same principle. It is interesting that this method has ancient roots and is known that Aztec cultivated agricultural islands on the water surface, known as Chinampas. It is considered by some people as the first form of aquaponics for agricultural use. Poly-cultural farming systems also existed in South China and Thailand who cultivated rice in flooded fields in combination with fish.

Future Farm Food and Fuel is based in Baldwin Wisconsin and built the largest aquaponic system in North America. This system is spread over 27 000 ft. and produces tons of lettuce, other plants and tilapia (fish).

Aquaponics also has the potential to become sustainable solution of fish production to meet rising demand for fish and fish products. According to the report ‘The State of World Fisheries And Aquaculture’ published by Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) in 2018, the global apparent consumption of fish increased to around 151 million tons in 2016 from around 140 million tons in 2013, whereas world edible fish consumption in 2030 is projected to be 20% higher than that in 2016. Therefore, aquaponics has the potential to cater to increasing fish demand, which in turn is expected to boost the aquaponics market growth.
