Aquaponics is a revolutionary type of horticulture. Essentially, it adds fish-breeding to hydroponics (aquaculture + hydroponics), inspired by traditional forms of agriculture such as that of the Sawas of Southeast Asia and the Chinampas of the Meso-Americas. It is an example of a closed-loop food system. The fish excrement supplies the fertility for plant growth, and the fish are fed with food scraps and insects grown in compost (e.g. soldier flies). If the fish are bred for consumption, it theoretically doubles the production of total food (calories) per m2 as compared to the two growing systems operated separately.
