Aquaponics is a hydroponics system that utilizes aquaculture to grow plants.

Aquaponics has become all the trend. The combination of aquaculture, the practice of fish farming, and hydroponics, the cultivation of plants in water without soil, aquaponics is one example of recirculating systems generally called Integrated Aquaculture Agriculture (IAA).

Hydroponics is a huge success around the globe. Hydroponics also called as nutrient culture, uses only chemical nutrients and water to grow plants without any need for the soil. In hydroponics systems, plant roots are suspended or periodically submerged in the nutrient water solution supported in a medium like a perlite, clay pellets or vermiculite.

The waterwise and environmentally-friendly aquaponics farming method used at FinLeaf Farm maximises productivity on a small two-hectare piece of land and could be the answer to achieving food security and sustainable agriculture.
