The Best for This Month

Aquaponics can be used in urban and remote settings, making it possible to grow food in areas where traditional agriculture is not feasible.

This is especially beneficial for cities, where the lack of space and access to land can make it difficult to grow food locally This not only reduces the carbon footprint of transportation but also increases food security in urban areas.

Aquaponics is a more efficient use of land.

Traditional agriculture requires large areas of land to grow crops and often results in the destruction of natural habitats. Aquaponics, on the other hand, can be done in a much smaller area and can even be done in vertical systems, thus saving even more space This can help preserve natural habitats and biodiversity

Connect Global has been implementing small, family-sized aquaponic systems in communities across Central America since 2012 We have built systems with new and used items to make the best use of the land space and available materials We have seen success in many of these systems because of the commitment of those who fully understand these environmental benefits as well as the community benefits of a fully functional aquaponic food system

Finally, aquaponics is a sustainable food source that can support local communities.

By growing food locally, communities can reduce their dependence on imported and overly processed food, which is often grown using unsustainable practices. This not only supports the local economy but also ensures that the food being consumed is fresh and healthy.
