Aquaponics can be used to sustainably raise fresh fish and vegetables for a family, to feed a vaillage or to generate profit in a commercial farming venture. Aquaponics is the combination of aquaculture (fish farming) and hydroponics (soilless plan culture). In aquaponics, the nutrient-rich water from raising fish provides fertilizer for the plants and the plants help to purify the water the fish life in.
