La acuaponía como estrategia integral para el fortalecimiento de la seguridad alimentaria familiar en Santander

Abstract

The Social Knowledge Appropriation Process (PASC), entitled "Aquaponics as a Comprehensive Strategy for Strengthening Family Food Security in Santander," was carried out during the year 2023 as part of the research project "Modular Aquaponics System under the Bio-refinery Approach (Bio aquaponics)." The aim of this process was to transfer knowledge on sustainable food production through aquaponics to the academic community and interested community stakeholders. Theoretical aspects were addressed, international experiences were explored, and a comprehensive methodology was implemented, including training sessions, remote meetings, and field visits. The holistic approach of the PASC seeks not only to provide a solution to food insecurity in Santander but also to serve as a replicable model at a regional and national level in the production of healthy and environmentally friendly food (closed water cycle and utilization of waste as nutrients).
