Aquaponics Farming Method Used to Grows Crops with Fish Poop


Aquaponics Method

The process, called aquaponics, allows farmers to grow local, organic produce anywhere at any time of year.

At Farms, produce is grown through a process called aquaponics, An aquaponics system grows both fish and plants that can be harvested sustainably. Where freshwater fish are raised in one tank and their waste is transported to another that contains crops, fertilizing them. The soil and tray growing vegetables in an aquaponics system that turns fish waste into fertilizer for your plants.

In Brooklyn, Oko Farms 2500 square foot aquaponics system. Aquaponics operating successfully in a small urban spaces.

The plants clean the water as they absorb the fertilizer, and the clean water is then recycled back into the fish tank.

There water with the waste from  the  tank flows to a hydroponics tray where plants grow in the water without soil. There lots of waste is toxic to the fish but is a rich fertilizer for the plants. So the plants absorbs the nutrients, the water is purified for the fish. The clean water can then be recycled  to the fish tank.

This cyclic process does not let anything go to waste, and some crops end up growing up to three times faster than were planted in soil.

At Oko Farms, the team uses approximately 80% less water than traditional soil method.
