Advances in urban horticulture by means of family-sized aquaponic systems: technical and social aspects

Aquaponics is the combination of aquaculture and hydroponics, where fish effluents are used as nutritive solution by plants. At the University of Seville, different works have been developed over the last 12 years in order to improve the designs proposed by FAO, determine the safety of the food prod...
