Riverfood heeft zich van 2015 tot 2020 ingezet anderen te enthousiasmeren voor het inzetten van aquaponics: een systeem waarbij water rondstroomt tussen aquaria met waterdieren en plantenbedden.

Our Story
The predictions are that by 2050, we need to feed almost 10 billion mouths. Our traditional food production methods cause land degradation, climate change and ocean pollution. In order to guarantee food safety and food security for all of us we will have to look for alternative food production methods.
Riverfood, founded in 2015 and based in Leiden, is making use of aquaponics combined with vertical farming: a circular ecosystem in which vegetables and fruits are grown together with fish, creating a customized and sustainable food production without waste streams for both outside use as well as indoors.
Aquaponics exists already for some time and has a worldwide growing group of users. An important reason why aquaponics has not been used in full potential is the need of specialist knowledge about the construction and operation of the systems. Therefore, aquaponics mainly remains a hobby.
