SMART AQUAPONICS TOOLS PRESENTATION WEBINAR
December 7, 2020
Rediscover in replay the webinar of December 7, 2020 which aims to present the digital tools of the Smart Aquaponics project to remotely control and anticipate an aquaponics system. Vigo Universal, interface developer, presented the tool that will help design future aquaponics systems and the monitoring application to manage the systems remotely. The model that supports these two tools, SAM - the Smart Aquaponics Model - was presented by the Urban Agriculture Research Center.
About sixty participants, mainly from Belgium and France and from the aquaponics sector, took part in this presentation followed by a moment of discussion in the form of questions and answers.

SMART AQUAPONICS
DEVELOPMENT OF INTELLIGENT MANAGEMENT TOOLS FOR AQUAPONICS
What is aquaponics?
Aquaponics is a soil-less agricultural production technique that combines aquaculture (breeding of fish or aquatic organisms) and hydroponics ( vegetables cultivation in a nutrient solution). By combining these two techniques, the water enriched by fish excrement is used to fertilize the plants, and the water filtered by the plants can be returned to the fish. In fine, the waste from each production system recycled the raw material of another.
Reduced demand for water and synthetic fertilizers for vegetables production
Reduced fish excrement discharged or to be treated before discharge
Possible production in environments inappropriate for horticulture (polluted soils, urban areas, drylands, ...)
The Smart Aquaponics project
Smart Aquaponics is an Interreg France-Wallonia-Vlaanderen cross-border cooperation project. Its objective is to promote the development of aquaponics among communities and professionals, through the development of digital tools for training, design and monitoring.
The project is carried out by 14 operators and is coordinated by the Research Center for Urban Farming of the University of Liège.
