Abstract
Food Sovereignty for Food Security, Aquaponics System as a Potential Method: A Review
Ntobeko Mchunu, Gareth Lagerwall and Adian Senzanje
Aquaponic system is the innovative production of fish and plants at the same time in one circulating system. Aquaponic system is the quick emerging practice worldwide, particularly in the Republic of South Africa (RSA). There is little information, if any, that relates RSA with aquaponics system. As such, this literature review looked briefly in soilless systems setups that make up an aquaponic system. However, the focus was made on aquaponics system particularly, toward understanding the system operational, sustainability and suitability RSA. The literature also looked at potential method such as aquaponics system model development to kick start and optimise aquaponics system productivity in RSA. Food sovereignty through aquaponics system has a great potential to address food and nutrition insecurity in RSA.
