Abstract

Aquaponics presents a promising solution to the challenges of urban agriculture and food resilience in an increasingly urbanized world. This abstract explores the role of aquaponics in addressing food insecurity, promoting urban sustainability, and enhancing food resilience in cities. Urban areas often face food deserts, where access to fresh, nutritious food is limited. Aquaponics offers a solution by enabling the production of fruits, vegetables, and fish in urban environments, closer to where people live and work. By utilizing unused spaces such as rooftops or indoor facilities, aquaponic systems provide a local, reliable source of food, improving food access and affordability while reducing dependence on long-distance food transportation. In addition to addressing food insecurity, aquaponics promotes urban sustainability by minimizing water usage and waste generation. By recycling water and nutrients within the system, aquaponics reduces the ecological footprint of food production in cities. Moreover, aquaponic systems can be integrated with other urban sustainability initiatives, such as green infrastructure and renewable energy, creating synergies that enhance overall environmental resilience.
