Aquaponic Project
Aquaponics is a highly sustainable, proven growing system. By combining aquaculture (raising fish and water-based animals) with soilless growing of plants, we are able to create a self-sustaining, high-output ecosystem. In this system, the fish waste is naturally broken down into natural fertilizer, which the plants use to grow. Also, by growing the plants without soil, they quickly and effectively filter the water for the fish.
-
A natural and sustainable way of producing food
-
No soil needed – the plants thrive in gravel
-
Grows 2x faster than traditional methods
-
Up to 95% more water efficient than conventional farming
-
A low-maintenance, self-sustaining system
-
Constant flow of nutrients creates dense growth
-
No pesticides or fertilizers needed
Also, the plants can be grown close together, which means it’s easy to grow salad makings in your kitchen.
System Architecture
"The main idea behind Fog computing is to improve efficiency and reduce the amount of data transported to the cloud for processing, analysis and storage. But it also used for security, performance and business logical reasons"
