Aquaponics uses a method of sustainable organic food production which combines the best aspects of aquaculture and hydroponics to create a highly productive living ecosystem for sustainable agriculture.“Organic” hydroponics techniques, infers the benefit of a 5-6 times higher produce yields, but further yield 20-45% more by managing organic environment. The produce grown is pesticide and chemical free, nutrient rich and superior to other comparative crops. The integration of fish and plants in a re-circulating system uses natural fish fertilizer. Consequently, enables aquaponics system to operate at a 30-40% lower cost compared to standard hydroponics. Benefits of yielding two products (fish and vegetables) de-risk the farming model and the marketing model. Dual revenue lines, proves aquaponics as one of the most commercially viable business model, compared to other vegetable/fish farming methods. Products include
