Environmental, Energetic, and Economic Comparisons of Organic and Conventional Farming Systems [PDF]
BioScience, 2005 Abstract Various organic technologies have been utilized for about 6000 years to make agriculture sustainable while conserving soil, water, energy, and biological resources. Among the benefits of organic technologies are higher soil organic matter and nitrogen, lower fossil energy inputs, yields similar to those of conventional systems, and ...

Economic comparison between conventional aquaponics and FLOCponics systems
Aquaculture, 2022 Biofloc-based fish production involves a dense microbial co-culture that supports nutrient cycling, generally reducing the amount of feed utilized and the need for mechanic and biological filters. These technical benefits of biofloc technology can lower the costs compared to traditional intensive techniques such as recirculating aquaculture systems ...
