The world status requires more than one impact to have a reversive effect on the way we have deteriorated it.  It requires a contribution of several actors with different parallel actions visualizing a Triple Impact to achieve a Zero Net Impact. Bio-Integrated Aquaponics 5.0 is a circular production system that is based on the integration of FIVE production components to make more efficient use of FIVE natural resources with FIVE principles that promote FIVE human values ​​for the integration of FIVE business areas. This model of Aquaponics 5.0 has been able to be implemented from a home system or a rural system in which, in addition to obtaining Healthy Food, Education and Agrotourism are obtained, to a commercial system where the same integration produces by-products of high added value that increase profitability. of the company.

Bio Integrated Aquaponics is an example of the cyclical model of nature, which is based on the use of resources where the reduction of elements prevails. Aquaponics 5.0 uses Biomass conversion components that generate raw materials to convert them into insect or worm protein through Permaculture techniques, which are in turn used by Aquaculture crops that produce nutrients in the water for the development of plants that They rid the water of toxic waste. All this with the help of renewable energy that gives movement to the system and the water that is stored from rain and condensation.

A commercial system of Aquaponics 5.0 is based on a Hybrid Biotech Recirculating System composed of FIVE different processes such as filtration, nitrification, biofloc, microalgae, mineralization, and bioremediation.   AKUA ZERO, is a project that combines the production of Tilapia & White Snook on a Aquaponic system that has a sub-production of Microalgae and Shrimp, in a cero waste recirculating water and air system.
