Aquaponics is an innovative, sustainable food production system that integrates fish culture with hydroponic crops cultivation by recycling water.
A Greek approach is required in the globally emerging aquaponics research field building on the national technological innovation in the domains of the agriculture sector.
The FoodOASIS project aims to the (a) development of aquaponics for the first time in Greece as a biologically secure food production system of low environmental footprint and high added value (b) development of a software to support the urban and industrial scale of aquaponics providing new technology (c) ecofriendly management and saving of water resources and (d) interconnection of academic research on aquaponics with market needs and economy by creating a cooperation network which enhances business competition and productivity towards best agricultural practices and sustainability.
In this video, the Project Coordinator Professor Nikolaos Katsoulas presents the closed type Aquaponic System which has been installed in the Greenhouse Facilities of UTH.
