THE STATUS OF AQUAPONICS IN GCC COUNTRIES AND THE SOCIAL,ENVIRONMENT, AND ECONOMICAL IMPACT OF AQUAPONICS IN SAUDI ARABIA

Aquaponics has been growing lately big times in GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council ) region  from governments and individual. Saudi Arabia has been doing aquaponics since year 2000 on a governmental level.  UAE follow shortly after. Now there are many aquaponics farms all over GCC countries and there become huge support as loans and regulations from governments.  

Since that Saudi Arabia is not an agriculture country, we have done a theoretical study on what if Saudi Arabia used aquaponics instead of regular farming. we found that the Saudi Arabia agriculture GDP will raise 101%. which means it will goes from around 3% to 6% with less land and natural resources.
