11 Amazing Food Producing Aquaponics Systems

Aquaponics is a type of farming that grows both fish and produce. You arrange a garden bed and a fish tank with a pump and pipes running water between them. You feed the fish, the waste from the fish feeds the plants, the plants filter the water before it goes back to the fish. You get to harvest both vegetables and fish.

Raise ornamental species like Koi or goldfish, or to raise the fish for food by growing trout, perch, tilapia, cod or bluegill. To make the system more sustainable, consider using a small windmill or solar panel to power the pump. Here are 11 inspiring aquaponics systems you need to know about.
