Aquaponics in Practice: Designing and Maintaining Your Installation

The most comprehensive practical guide on the subject. Written by Marie Fiers, founder of UrbanLeaf, an urban agriculture startup specializing in aquaponics.

Indoors, outdoors, on the ground or on the roof, there is bound to be an aquaponic system suited to everyone: from the decorative and fun indoor mini-aquaponic garden to the innovative and functional greenhouse for producing food for plants and fish.
Widely practiced in permaculture, aquaponics is a closed-circuit ecosystem in which fish provide the fertilizer necessary for the growth of plants, which in turn ensure the efficient filtration of the fish's water. While the practice of aquaponics was originally aimed at those who aspire to a certain food autonomy through taste or quality requirements (ideal for producing abundant healthy fruits, vegetables and fish), today a wider public is interested in it and practices aquaponics as a hobby.
