Welcome
Aquaponics UK.... Not for profit support for the development of aquaponics.
The basic principle of aquaponics is as follows... Fish and plants are grown in a symbiotic balance. Wastes from the fish provide nutrients for the plants, and in turn the plants filter the water for the fish. Plant off cuts can then be composted in wormeries to provide food for the fish and so the cycle continues.... crops are constantly harvested and the system feeds and watering itself in a sustainable ecosystem approach to food production. Surround the system with a greenhouse, add lady birds and other beneficial insects and a microcosm is born.....
Aquaponics is ideal for schools, community projects, household self sufficiency and if scaled up, for commercially viable mixed crop food production.
Aquaponics UK is a not for profit social enterprise providing support for the development of aquaponics. Whether through design advice or the supply of complete turn-key systems for commercial, household and educational purposes, our goal is to provide a structure in which Aquaponics can flourish in the UK. We’re here to help advise you on the best way forward whether its assistance in applying for government and third sector funding, or for help designing a system and getting it operational.
