Aquaponics is....

aquaponics vegetable garden

Aquaponics is a sustainable, living, freshwater ecosystem in a man-made (or woman-made) structure where we grow healthy food for our families in any space.

aquaponics fish

The ecosystem involves fish (pets or edible fish) that produce fertiliser for the veggies, and the veggies filter the water for the fish and of course nitrifying bacteria that make this whole ecosystem work, just like in nature.
