    Aquaponics is becoming popular worldwide. It is a farming method used to grow fish and plants together.

    In aquaponics, water moves between fish tanks and crop beds. Bacteria break down fish waste into nutrients for the plants. The plants take in these nutrients and clean the water. The system does not need any chemicals or regular water changes. It is often used to grow freshwater fish and vegetables.

    Aquaponics is a farming method currently gaining popularity worldwide. It combines aquaculture and hydroponics and employs a system in which fish and plants are cultivated together. The approach was first adopted commercially in the US in the 1980s.

    An aquaponics system circulates water between fish tanks and crop beds. Bacteria break down any fish waste into essential nutrients for absorption by the plants. This also purifies the water. Requiring no chemical fertilizers or regular water changes, aquaponics is considered eco-friendly and sustainable. Commonly raised species include freshwater fish such as tilapia and carp, along with leafy vegetables and herbs. Home gardening kits are also available.

    Aquaponics was showcased in the Osaka Healthcare Pavilion at Expo Osaka. Its large globe-shaped exhibit drew significant attention and helped to raise awareness in Japan.
