The GREEN FISH Fish Farm, located in the rural area of Popayán, Colombia, presents us with a successful model of Aquaponics, “the perfect symbiosis between the cultivation of plants and the breeding of fish using the resource of rainwater.” DANIEL MUÑOZ, manager of GREEN FISH, presents us with this system that can save up to 90% of water compared to conventional agriculture and completely eliminate any waste that could be generated, since it is a closed and controlled system. Today, systems of this type already exist for both home production and industrial-scale production. This is nothing new: Aquaponics was already known and used thousands of years ago by civilizations as diverse as the Aztecs and the Chinese, but in Colombia this system has begun to gain strength and become stronger in rural areas where food security is becoming increasingly necessary.
