Guillaume and Vincent welcome us to Echologia, to show us how they went from an industrial wasteland to a reference place in France for AQUAPONICS.

The waste produced by the fish is used as a source of nutrients by the plants, which maintains a healthy environment for the fish. Aquaponics therefore refers to any system that combines conventional aquaculture (raising aquatic animals such as snails, fish, crayfish or shrimp in tanks) with hydroponics (growing plants in water) in a symbiotic environment. In an equation: Aquaponics = Aquaculture + Hydroponics. The advantages of aquaponics 1) Aquaponics is a way to grow your own fish and vegetables at the same time. You feed the fish and the fish will feed your plants with their waste. You produce both a protein and vegetable crop. 2) There is no need to use fertilizers because fish provide rich nutrients to the plants. Fish provide all the fertilizers that the plants need. 3) In aquaponics, less water is used for growing crops. Research has shown that aquaponic gardens use 1/10th of the water that you would use for a soil garden. Therefore, aquaponics uses 90% less water than soil-based growing. 4) Regular garden pesticides or other chemicals cannot be used because they could harm the fish. No pesticides or herbicides are needed. 5) This results in healthier and organic vegetables. 6) You will not have soil-borne diseases in aquaponics because there is no soil. 7) You can grow plants in a very small space and have a large harvest. Scalable, aquaponic systems can be as large or as small as you want. 8) Plants grow quickly because they derive highly nutritious substances from fish waste. Food can be produced continuously, with periodic partial harvest. With the use of indoor growing and supplemental lighting, you can operate year-round. 9) Plant and fish production can be done in a temperature-controlled environment. 10) Water is used in a closed system and circulates efficiently, reducing consumption and water bills. 11) Reduced physical labor required. Since the ponds are most often at eye level, the media also require little maintenance (no tilling, easy and complete harvest because the media is easily uprooted, etc.). 12) You can set up an aquaponics system almost anywhere (indoors, outdoors, in arid conditions, etc.). Aquaponics truly mimics what occurs naturally in ponds, lakes, and streams. This method uses the natural nitrogen cycle to maximize the efficiency of growing plants and fish, while minimizing waste.
