Higher food safety, higher water savings, better nutrient and waste management, climate change adapted, energy efficient, higher food quality and better animal welfare.
Use of Aquaponics Iberia's Climate Smart modular technology
- Efficient solid filtration and aerobic biodigesting (conversion to natural fertilizer)
- O2 management and control
- Fast metabolism / growth of fish and greens
- Less labor intensive / maintenance interventions
- Trouble free operation
- Evaporated water recovery

Grow food without wasting water by recycling it continuously (100% no effluent discharges)
Qualified and locally trained staff working ergonomically, fairly payed according to performance and growth
New and disruptive technologies to sustainably generate high quality fish protein and greens to be replicated all over European cities
Climate Smart aquaponics modular system is totally adapted to climate change, either to mitigate the common consequences of food production or to keep producing in adverse climatic conditions.
Smart and sustainable urban farming delivering food right where it is produced, in densely populated areas, making it fresh and avoiding transportation.
Involve local community.
By not growing carnivorous fish, there’s no need for fish meal and, as such, we are preserving oceans’ biodiversity being wild stocks friendly, reducing fish catch and we’re not polluting the marine ecosystem
Sensitizing children, general consumers and entrepreneurs about the environment needs, sustainable production and healthy food consumption;
ASC (Aquaculture Stewardship Council) certified fish being locally produced and delivered;
Very efficient use of resources (extreme high water savings; use of renewable energy);
No effluent discharges for the environment;
Less carbon emissions;
Ensuring food safety, freshness and healthy / natural food;
No need for fertile land / smaller footprint / high productivity.

1
Fish waste is processed by beneficial aerobic bacteria
2
Microorganisms convert fish waste into natural fertilizer which is assimilated by plants
3
Plants grow healthily while cleaning the water returning to fish tanks
