Go Aquaponic: The Green Revolution by Green in Blue

Do you know who Loïc Le Goueff is?

Posiblemente no tengas ninguna idea, pero está presente en cada comida que haces con las lechugas acuapónicas de Mercat Frutal. 

Our friend Loïc Le Goueff is an innovator in sustainable agriculture. He is the founder of Green in Blue, a company specializing in aquaponic farming solutions, leading a movement towards more efficient and environmentally friendly agricultural practices. His vision has popularized aquaponics, a revolutionary method that combines aquaculture with hydroponics.

But what is aquaponics?

As Green in Blue explains, aquaponics is an innovative solution that integrates fish farming with plant cultivation in a closed, symbiotic system. In this system, the organic waste from the fish provides the necessary nutrients for plant growth, while the plants purify and recycle the water, returning it to the fish environment.

This sustainable and efficient approach not only reduces the need for chemical fertilizers and water but also maximizes crop yields in a limited space.

Why choose aquaponic vegetables?

Opting for aquaponic vegetables has numerous advantages. Firstly, these crops are more sustainable and environmentally friendly by reducing water consumption and eliminating the need for chemical fertilizers. Additionally, being grown in closed systems, they are less exposed to diseases and pests, reducing the need for pesticides.

Aquaponic vegetables are also of high nutritional quality, as they grow in a controlled environment and receive the necessary nutrients optimally. Their freshness and superior flavor make them an ideal choice for those who value healthy and tasty food.

Some aquaponic vegetables available at Mercat Frutal, an organic store located in Poblenou:

Aquaponic Lettuce: Fresh, crunchy, and full of flavor, our customers rave about it. 

Aquaponic Cilantro: Imagine adding it to guacamole, ceviches, and curry. It's amazing because it gives a great aroma and flavor.

Aquaponic Parsley: Aquaponic parsley adds a touch of freshness to a variety of dishes, from pasta to soups and dressings. If you like adding it to everything, no problem; it's a great friend in the kitchen. 

Aquaponic Mint: What comes to mind first? Cocktails, right? It's also perfect for infusions and desserts. 

Aquaponic Basil: I can only think of pasta with basil, olive oil, and cheese. Easy, quick, and delicious. Additionally, we can make a good vegan pesto. Don't worry, we'll explain how to make it in our next article. 🙂
