Imagine a world where every country has a surplus of healthy and safe food. Imagine a world where this food comes from an environmentally friendly source. Now imagine all that food being incredibly affordable for everyone. A growing world with more mouths to feed every day is hungry for scientific advancements and agricultural achievements in the near future. In this world, the idea of ​​sustainable and economical agriculture is increasingly recognized as the best solution for a hungry population. A relatively new agricultural system combines aquaculture and hydroponics to form aquaponics. Aquaculture is fish farming in which commercial fish are kept in containers, ponds or tanks; hydroponics is essentially growing plants without using soil, primarily using water delivery (Blidariu & Grozea, 2011). These two methods combined form a sustainable and mutualistic system called aquaponics. Separately, aquaculture and hydroponics have negative implications in their systems. However, when merged in aquaponics, both systems solve each other's problems (Blidariu & Grozea, 2011). Aquaponics is an innovative agricultural system that has been implemented to solve the problems of separate aquaculture and hydroponics systems; this new system has beneficial effects for the producer, the consumer and the environment. The growing world population has caused farmers to consider new technologies and methods to nourish the land. It is estimated that the population will “double” by “2050”, making these agricultural breakthroughs urgent (Veludo, Hughes and Le Blan, 2012). This has been an underlying cause of the epidemic in aquaponics use. Some major causes of the integration of aqua...... middle of paper ......s, aquaponics is a friend of the environment; it creates a sustainable system that conserves water and preserves nature. The combination of aquaculture and hydroponics creates a caring system of agriculture called aquaponics; therefore, this system brings prosperity to the producer, consumer and the environment when implemented in the agricultural world (Blidariu & Grozea, 2011).
