Our Specialty
What is aquaponics?
Aquaponics is the next generation of sustainable, recycling-oriented agriculture, a cross between hydroponics and aquaculture. It is a production system that is both productive and environmentally friendly: fish waste is decomposed by micro-organisms, plants absorb it as nutrients, and the purified water returns to the fish tank.
Characteristics of aquaponics-grown vegetables
Aquaponics does not use pesticides, chemical fertilisers or herbicides to avoid negative effects on fish and other aquatic organisms. In the ‘Comparative study of the composition of vegetables harvested by aquaponics and hydroponics’, conducted jointly by our company and Nihon University, it was found that vegetables produced by aquaponics have a significantly lower concentration of nitrate nitrogen and a higher content of vitamin C than those grown by hydroponics. Nitrate nitrogen causes a bitter taste, so the results also show that aquaponics-produced vegetables are easier to eat raw.
*In the EU, the maximum content of nitrate nitrogen in vegetables is regulated by law.
Value of aquaponics
Improved efficiency of energy and resource circulation
Aquaponics is a circular technology that links agriculture and aquaculture, which were previously separated, in a ‘cycle’. The circulation increases the amount of energy and resources available and amplifies the efficiency of their use, while reducing the use of chemical fertilisers. The use of renewable energy and the incorporation of energy-saving technologies further increases productivity.
Sustainable large-scale food production and going green
Aquaponics can be used to increase the efficiency of the use of carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas, nitrogen, which causes an environmental burden, and water, which is being depleted. It contributes to efficient and stable large-scale food production and biodiversity conservation in an environmentally sustainable way and helps green the agricultural and fisheries industry.
Promoting smart agriculture
Aquaponics, as horticulture, is compatible with IoT and AI technologies and can be applied in different regional characteristics and growing environments as a technology set that integrates production facilities and technology. The use of digital data at the production site can reduce production risks, improve quality, reduce energy and resource costs, improve the efficiency of the entire distribution chain (value chain) and enhance sales.
Circulation-oriented complex business development
Agriculture is easily linked to a variety of businesses, such as employment of people with disabilities, tourism (inbound), food and beverage, recycling, etc. As an agricultural production facility embedded in populous cities, and in mountainous areas, it has high synergy with the maintenance of rural villages, local communities and rural infrastructure. It promotes local production for local consumption and contributes to stimulating the local economy and creating new employment opportunities.
