Aquaponic Urban Vertical Garden

The Aquaponic Urban Vertical Garden project by Professor Chito Sace at Central Luzon State University allows for the cultivation of leafy vegetables in a one square meter space using a sustainable aquaponics system. This technique combines aquaculture and hydroponics, utilizing nutrient-rich water from fish to fertilize plants, and aims to address hunger and malnutrition in Filipino families. The project was showcased during the National Science and Technology Week in 2014 and is seen as a potential solution for improving nutrition and agricultural practices in the community.

Aquaponic Urban Vertical Garden

A project from Central Luzon State University in Nueva Ecija designed by Professor
Chito Sace allows you to grow a garden of leafy vegetables within one square meter
of space. It was featured in the recently held National Science and Technology Week
(NSTW). NSTW is a yearly initiative of the Department of Science and Technology
and was held from July 24-28, 2014. The water being pumped through the entire
system is nutrient-rich because of the freshwater fish swimming in the cylinder. The
manure of the fish acts as organic fertilizer for the vegetables.

The UVG Aquaponics project aims to promote an agricultural technique, which


combines conventional aquaculture – raising aquatic animals in tanks – with
hydroponics, or cultivating plants in water. And we feel that aquaponics will be part
of the future in how we produce food, because it's not only sustainable, it will also
help address our nutrition problem, especially the children.

For me, this invention will have a great impact to every Filipino family to end hunger
and malnutrition if each family will have this in their homes or any area within their
house. Because it will produce vegetables that are enrich with nutrients and vitamins.
Plants that are healthy and well grown that will sustain what our body needs. If the
government introduces this invention to the community then we will able to eradicate
hunger and malnutrition little by little. It comes from a single step with the help of
other’s cooperation and It will result to boom our agricultural aspects that can be
shared to other countries in the world.
