Food4Sustainability at the National Agriculture Fair
From 6 to 14 June, Food4Sustainability took part in the National Agriculture Fair in Santarém. On 12 June, the AmpliCentro project featured a live cooking demonstration led by Chef Mário Rui Ramos, showcasing the gastronomic potential of products grown in the AmpliAqua® circular Bioponics systems.
Aquaponics
Aquaponics is a sustainable food production system that combines aquaculture (fish farming) and hydroponics (growing plants in water, without soil) into an integrated system. In this system, the waste produced by the fish, ammonia, and undigested feed are converted by bacteria into nitrites and nitrates, which are absorbed by plants as fertilizer.
