Aquaponics

Student: Kennedy Pina
Supervisor team: Sónia Semedo

Climate change has contributed to cycles of heat and drought that directly affect the amount of water available and agricultural production. Every day, solutions are emerging to mitigate the effects of climate change and one of the solutions is aquaponics.

Aquaponics is a cultivation technique that combines fish farming with plant production in an integrated system. This symbiotic interaction results in more efficient and sustainable food production compared to traditional farming systems.

Aim:
Automate and monitor a small aquaponics system through the use of the Internet of Things to study the feasibility of communication between the various parts of the system.
