The System
WHAT IS AQUAPONICS?
Aquaponics is an innovative, soilless agricultural method where fish feed plants and plants clean water for the fish, creating a circular loop with no chemicals, super high yields, and low water use.
WHAT IS THE APPLICATION IN THE AMAZON?
Modular, replicable structures that float on top of fish ponds and suspend roots into the water, sucking up nutritious water, growing lots of healthy crops and fish, and addressing key protein and food sovereignty issues.
Impact
Amazon Aquaponics directly reduces deforestation and biodiversity loss by eliminating the need for over-hunting and agricultural land clearage. Each floating farm system uses existing water surfaces, preserving soil structure, and protecting surrounding vegetation. The ability to grow high-protein crops like beans and spinach is fighting protein deficiency caused by the decrease in hunting, while enhancing indigenous food sovereignty.
