AMiGem

Aquaponics-based production of mini vegetables

About the project

Mini vegetables are all the rage! From small peppers to tiny broccoli, there is a variety of small vegetables that are becoming increasingly popular. Acheron GmbH is working on an innovative concept to convert conventional animal barns into modern food production facilities. The idea is to combine various modules for the production of meat, fish and vegetables within the barn. The aim is to recycle water, phosphorus and nitrogen, reduce emissions and increase operational productivity. The AMiGem project within this system deals specifically with aquaponics. For the first time, research is being conducted into how wastewater and solid matter from fish farming can be effectively utilised for the cultivation of mini-vegetables in order to produce high-quality fish and vegetable products.
