The FrontAg Nexus project highlights advanced hydroponic systems as a climate-smart solution. These soilless cultivation methods offer precise control over nutrient delivery and water use, enabling significant resource optimization. Adopting closed-loop hydroponic systems, especially when integrated with renewable energy and alternative water sources (like desalinated water), enhances sustainability and circularity.
This presentation explores Tunisia’s hydroponic strawberry value chain amid rapid Mediterranean warming, highlighting how severe water scarcity and rising socio-economic pressures heighten agricultural vulnerability and create an urgent need for climate-smart, water-efficient technologies to support sustainable production.
Aquaponics is a sustainable agricultural practice that integrates aquaculture (fish farming) and hydroponics (growing plants without soil). This symbiotic system allows for the efficient production of both fish and plants, where the fish waste provides essential nutrients for plant growth, and the plants, in turn, help purify the water for the fish.
Explore the operational dynamics of Recirculating Aquaculture Systems (RAS) in the sixth webinar of our enlightening webinar series on Aquaponics, Aquaculture, and Hydroponics, co-organized by the FrontAg Nexus and Dolores projects.
In this session, Elisa Appolloni from the University of Bologna explores the fascinating world of Simplified Hydroponic Systems, focusing on urban and low-tech horticulture solutions.
Anina Kappeler’s Master Thesis titled “An agri-food value chain analysis with a focus on environmental and economic impacts of hydroponics: A case study on tomato cultivation in Morocco” provides an in-depth examination of the agri-food value chain specific to hydroponic tomato farming in Morocco.
Explore the world of hydroponics with Fabio Perotti in the second part of our seminar on nutrient solutions, brought to you by UNIBO’s insightful seminar series.
Join us for the third session of our webinar series on Aquaponics, Aquaculture, and Hydroponics, co-organised by FrontAg Nexus and the Dolores project. In this session, titled “Optimising Fish Feeding & Growth”, host Michael Reuter from our partner Aquaponik Manufaktur explores the critical aspects of aquaculture management.
