GASTROAQUAPONICS

AQUAPONICS


Gastroaquaponics is a different way of understanding cuisine, an activity which integrates and merges gastronomy with aquaponics. The idea arises from Diego Gallegos, a chef with his own personal identity, who uses sustainable systems located next to his restaurant.  It consists of an integrated farming model of fish and vegetables to obtain a continuous supply, helping to control the cycle, size and even the quality of the species depending on the season.

Such system combines the production of those vegetables and fish in water tanks which contain more than 12,000 litres of water integrated with a closed water loop, in which unique species of freshwater fish are farmed as well as more than 2,000 types of plants.
