Aquaponics System, Plants. Volume 1 - Sistemas de acuaponía

The book collection "Aquaponics systems, plants" is intended to disseminate the sciences of synergistic food production such as aquaponics. This food production system is accessible to the general public and eliminates many of the current problems related to food supply. In this first volume two important chapters will be mentioned which are the basics of aquaponics and the implementation of an aquaponics unit.
The first chapter explains the difference between aquaponics and hydroponics, then the benefits of aquaponics and the factors that make it an enjoyable food production system very similar to a hobby. In the second chapter, the steps for the implementation of an aquaponics system according to the individual's objectives are observed. It includes connection systems, tools to control the biological factors, temperature, lighting, etc.
In the following volumes the aspects of maintenance, plants, automation systems and specific crops will be mentioned. The whole system of books called "Aquaponics systems" is divided into three texts which are "Aquaponics systems, plants", "Aquaponics systems, fish", "Aquaponics systems, microbes" and "Aquaponics systems, automation and intelligent control". The entire collection is intended to provide insight into the advances in the science of aquaponics and food production in the 21st century.
It is taken for granted that the implementation processes of aquaponics units will be mentioned, but new techniques and technologies to increase production are also published.
