crops, continuously reusing the resources generated to reintroduce them
into the system and generate zero waste and zero pollution.
Aquaponics is the ideal method of cultivation in urban and peri-urban
areas because it can be practiced indoors (wine cellar, veranda, garage),
on terraces and roofs of buildings, on wasteland, and especially in areas
where access to land is limited and expensive. As a result, the model is
particularly suitable for the development of short circuits. The aquapo-
nics thus promotes the development of a local economy and direct sales,
thus limiting the costs and CO emissions linked to transport.
