Benefits of Aquaponics

Now that you have an understanding of how Aquaponics works, you can probably guess some of the many benefits of such a great system. However, there may be some benefits that you overlooked or never even thought about. The primary reasons people set up this organic sustainable food production method are:


  • To improve health (100% organic food)
  • To save money
  • To help the environment

In addition to those benefits, aquaponics is also extremely easy to set up. Because it requires such little space and doesn’t require a lot of maintenance, it’s possible to set up your system in a very limited space, hence the popular trend of “backyard aquaponics”.



One of the reasons some people don’t like about traditional farming is the effort and work needed to properly maintain it. It requires a lot of maintenance and constant monitoring. Harvesting is also a very time consuming process. Aquaponics doesn’t have any of those issues because after you set up your system (we’ll give you a full walkthrough in the next chapter) maintaining it essentially means just feeding the fish.

Since this method uses the nutrient rich water from the fish tank to fertilize the plants, your vegetables will grow in a fraction of the time that they would if they were growing in soil. This means that you can get your vegetables much quicker and pretty much have fresh food on a whim. And due to the ease of the process, it’s very easy for people of all ages to maintain and care for. Getting the family involved in your aquaponics farm is a great way to have some fun while receiving many other great benefits as well.

Whatever your reasoning is for utilizing aquaponics, you are making one of the best decisions of your life and you won’t regret it.

Health Benefits It’s no coincidence that people who choose to eat organic food live overall healthier lives than those who don’t. Food bought from stores and restaurants are loaded with chemicals, steroids, fats, and ingredients that are not conducive to a healthy lifestyle. This is one area in which aquaponics gives you a great advantage. Everything is handled right in your backyard and is controlled completely by you. That means that you know exactly what is going into your food from the moment you begin setting up your system. You are getting completely organic food through aquaponics.

1.1 Introduction to Control Systems

By -
Introduction Automatic control has played a vital role in the advance of engineering and science. In addition to its extreme importance in space-vehicle systems, missile-guidance systems, robotic systems, and the like, automatic control has become an important and integral part of modern manufacturing and industrial processes. For example, automatic control is essential in the numerical control of machine tools in the manufacturing industries, in the design of autopilot systems in the aerospace industries, and in the design of cars and trucks in the automobile industries. It is also essential in such industrial operations as controlling pressure, temperature, humidity, viscosity, and flow in the process industries. Since advances in the theory and practice of automatic control provide the means for attaining optimal performance of dynamic systems, improving productivity, relieving the drudgery of many routine repetitive manual operations, and more, most engineers and scientist
