Écosystèmes Alimentaires Urbains

Aquaculture + hydroponics = aquaponics.
Urban Food Ecosystems combines aquatic organisms farming techniques (fresh water fish, crustaceans or molluscs) with soilless cultivation techniques for a better yield per cultivated surface. Effluents from the fish are collected and become a fertiliser for plants, via a mineralisation process. The use of pesticides is also greatly reduced in this integrated agri-food production.

AU supports individuals and organisations in developing of their own commercial aquaponic farm that will produce fruits, vegetables and fish, twelve months a year, regardless of weather conditions.
