Veggie Portrait. Jip - Jip chose the spring onion.
Hello!
My name is Jip. I recently got my bachelor's degree in Environmental Sciences and started at Mediamatic shortly after. My work here is centered in the aquaponics greenhouse and the garden. During my time as an intern I set up a project revolving around using canalwater in urban farming. Now, I am continuing with this project (amongst others) as a project manager. My goal is to limit the use of tapwater for irrigation purposes and communicate about the topic of water stress in general.

We are investigating what it would take to turn our aquaponics system into a hydroponics system. The main question is where we will source our nutrients. We want our fertilizer to be as organic and...
We first started experimenting with aquaponics in 2012 at our previous location at the van Gendthallen . After more than 10 years of learning, growing and enjoying an abundance of fresh herbs, we...
In May of 2023 we started adding the shimmering canal water of Het Oosterdok in our aquaponics system. We started with small amounts of water in the first month to let the plants and the fish adapt...
As we are adding canal water to the aquaponics system, we are monitoring several parameters relating to salinity. One of them is EC. Measuring the EC is quick, easy and inexpensive. However, there...
The salinity increase in aquaponics after 6 months of canal water irrigation. We measure the EC as well as the sodium and chloride concentration. This table is based on the results of monthly lab...
