Aquaponics 5.0 is a circular production Biosystem that is based on the integration of FIVE production components to make more efficient use of FIVE natural resources with FIVE principles that promote FIVE human values ??for the integration of FIVE business areas. This model of Aquaponics 5.0 has been able to be implemented from a home system or a rural system in which, in addition to obtaining Healthy Food, Education and Agrotourism are obtained, to a commercial system where the same integration produces by-products of high added value that increase profitability. of the company.

Aquaponics 5.0 is an example of the cyclical model of nature, which is based on the use of resources where the reduction of elements prevails. Aquaponics 5.0 uses Biomass conversion components that generate raw materials to convert them into insect or worm protein through Permaculture techniques, which are in turn used by Aquaculture crops that produce nutrients in the water for the development of plants that They rid the water of toxic waste. All this with the help of renewable energy that gives movement to the system and the water that is stored from rain and condensation.

 A commercial system of Aquaponics 5.0 not only seeks a productive profit, but also a commercial one. In production, techniques of recirculation, biofloc, microalgae, mineralization, filtration, energy efficiency, generation of raw materials, among others, are implemented so that components such as aquaculture, hydroponics and livestock are integrated into a productive circle where outputs are inputs. to another production line. And with regard to its commercial advantage, today there is a greater number of consumers and markets that seek or demand different techniques and certifications that demand Healthy and Sustainable food, so this productive-commercial integration is really the future of the Sustainable Food.
