Implementation of aquaponic technology in Romania to benefit health and sustainable livelihood in deprived areas (AQUA-ROM)

Description

Aquaponic is an innovative technology that combines aquaculture (fish farming) with hydroponics (soilless plant culture) to create a sustainable, low-impact food production unit.
The project aims to introduce Aquaponics to Romania and thus contribute to poverty reduction in Romanian mountain areas and modify the current food habits so as to improve the health status of this particular population.
