Constructing a system that combines aquaculture and agriculture using three stages of groundwater with high concentrations of salt in arid land
Research grant
- Project Description
In recent years, the global population has increased rapidly and is expected to reach 9 billion by 2050. Desertification due to climate change is a serious issue, and humanity is facing an unprecedented food crisis. The goal of this project is to construct a revolutionary system that enables fish and crop production by effectively limiting water use in aims to eradicate world hunger. Fish will be cultivated in saltwater, and salt-tolerant crops will be cultured hydoponically using liquid waste that contains nitrogenous compounds in leftover fish feed and fish feces. Salt is removed by using this liquid waste to cultivate open field crops that will reabsorb the salt. This method is already applied in farming models in Mexico to ship fish and crops to markets. Here, we will examine the use of groundwater that contains higher salt content and aim for the potential use of seawater in the future. [No. R19-0010]
