Mediamatic Aquaponics
Mediamatic develops aquaponics installations on a Dutch scale. Aquaponics is a vertical ecosystem in which plants and fish are cultivated together and help each other survive. The best way for sustainable food production in the city. In contrast to traditional agriculture, hardly any water is wasted and you don't need a lot of space. Aquaponics is implemented on a large scale in countries with a warmer climate. We are interested in how this system can be implemented in and around the house; in a country like the Netherlands, where temperatures tend to be lower rather than higher, and where we are a bit cramped for space. Following the design of two systems suited for more spacious work- and living spaces, we designed the Miniponics in March 2013. The Miniponics easily fits into the living room or classroom, and even on the more slender Amsterdam balconies.
