Climate Smart Farming for Women in East Africa [PDF]

, 2018
According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, 60% of East Africans live as subsistence farmers. This population is particularly vulnerable to the effects of climate change which has increased the duration and intensity of droughts ...

Decoupled Aquaponics Systems [PDF]

, 2019
AbstractTraditional aquaponics systems were arranged in a single process loop that directs nutrient-rich water from fish to the plants and back. Given the differing specific nutrient and environmental requirements of plants and fish, such systems presented a compromise to the ideal conditions for rearing of both, thus reducing the efficiency and ...

Assessing the viability of hydroponics for low‐income farmers in South Africa's urban agriculture sector: An urban political ecology perspective

Urban Agriculture &Regional Food Systems, Volume 11, Issue 1, 2026.
Abstract Urban agriculture in densely populated areas is significantly constrained by space, leading to interest in vertical farming solutions like hydroponics. This study evaluates hydroponics’ viability in Cape Town's low‐income urban areas as a useful supplement to most research, which focuses on cities in the Global North.

Overcoming barriers to aquaponics adoption in schools: a practical implementation guide

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems
Aquaponics emerges as a promising approach to sustainable food production by integrating aquaculture (fish farming) and hydroponics (soil-less plant cultivation) within a closed-loop system that fosters a symbiotic relationship between aquatic organisms ...

Urban gardening in Dhaka: Practices, constraints, and impacts

Urban Agriculture &Regional Food Systems, Volume 11, Issue 1, 2026.
Abstract The production of fruits and vegetables by urban residents can enhance food security and provide various additional benefits, but empirical data to support these claims is limited. This study uses questionnaire‐based data from 1320 households in Dhaka, Bangladesh, including 1079 gardeners and 241 non‐gardeners, to examine urban gardening ...

Assembling a Small Scale Aquaponics System [PDF]

, 2017
An Aquaponics is the integration of traditional aquaculture with hydroponics. Commercial aquaponics uses methods and equipment from both the hydroponics and aquaculture industries. Effluents from aquatic animals are used by plants as food. In the process,

L‐Glutamine Modulates Root Architecture and Hormonal Balance in Arabidopsis

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 178, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Nitrogen (N) availability is a key determinant of plant growth and development. Here, we investigate how different N sources shape Arabidopsis thaliana root system architecture, metabolism and hormone dynamics. L‐glutamine (L‐GLN) significantly enhances root biomass compared to nitrate (KNO3) without compromising shoot growth.

Recent advancements in aquaponics with special emphasis on its sustainability

Journal of the World Aquaculture Society
An aquaponic system which is an integration of hydroponics with aquaculture is sustainable, ecologically friendly, and uses non‐renewable resources with very high efficacy. The increasing trend in aquaponics research demonstrates a growing recognition of

Aquaponics and Global Food Challenges [PDF]

, 2019
AbstractAs the world’s population grows, the demands for increased food production expand, and as the stresses on resources such as land, water and nutrients become ever greater, there is an urgent need to find alternative, sustainable and reliable methods to provide this food.

Economic Viability of Aquaponics Across Global Climate Zones: A Meta‐Analytical Assessment

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 1, January 2026.
ABSTRACT Aquaponic systems are emerging as sustainable agricultural solutions that conserve water and recycle waste, enabling food cultivation in urban, rural, and arid regions. They are increasingly advocated across diverse contexts, yet adoption remains limited due to concerns about economic viability stemming from huge capital investment and low ...
