Closing Nutrient Cycles with System-internal Resource Streams: Consequences for Aquaponic Feed Development and Circular Multitrophic Food Production Systems

Abstract

Zephyr Vale

This article delves into the concept of closing nutrient cycles within aquaponic systems through the utilization of system-internal resource streams. By incorporating innovative approaches to feed development and nutrient management, aquaponics has the potential to revolutionize sustainable food production. The study explores the implications of achieving circularity in aquaponics, focusing on enhanced nutrient utilization, reduced environmental impacts, and increased resilience in food production. The research highlights the critical role of feed formulation, system design, and operational practices in realizing the vision of circular multitrophic food production systems.
