Hydroponics and aquaculture are combined to produce aquaponic food

Aquaponics is a hybrid of aquaculture (fish farming) and hydroponics (growing of plants in water). Aquaponics combines both of these methods to grow fish and plants simultaneously. Nitrifying microorganisms in water (rhizobacteria, fungi, microplankton, and so on) convert fish waste to nitrates. Plants absorb these nitrates and use them to grow.

 Aquaponic plants have the potential to become a major source of food, helping to meet the world's growing food demand. According to the Food and Agricultural Organization's 2018 report 'Agricultural Productivity and Innovation,' agriculture will need to produce nearly 50% more food, feed, and biofuel in 2050 than it did in 2012 to meet the demand of an increasing population.
