20.500.12556/DKUM-86939 Commercial aquaponics a long road ahead Aquaponic systems are often designated as sustainable food production systems that are still facing various challenges, especially when they are considered as a commercial endeavour that needs to compete on the market. The early stages of the aquaponics industry have witnessed a number of unrealistic statements about the economic advantageousness of aquaponics. This chapter deals with these topics and discusses them critically. The latest scientific literature and current personal experiences of European commercial aquaponics farmers are taken into account on three levels: The horticulture side of production, the aquaculture side of production and the early data on the market response to aquaponics, emphasising the marketing issues and public acceptance of aquaponics. In summary, the chapter does not provide an “off-the-peg” solution to evaluate the economic performance of a particular aquaponics system. Instead it provides a broad database that enables an estimation of the efficiency of a planned system more realistically, pointing to challenges that the commercial aquaponics early adopters faced that are important lessons for future aquaponic endeavours, particularly in Europe. commercial aquaponics Aquaponics economic myths marketing of aquaponics komercialna akvaponika ekonomski miti marketing trženje true false true Springer Nature Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2024-01-30 14:09:14 2024-01-30 14:18:44 2024-02-01 03:32:43 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2019 0 0 Str. 453-485 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 2016-06-22 631.589.2:339.138 5642603 2048312915 10.1007/978-3-030-15943-6_18 Aquaponics_2019.pdf Aquaponics_2019.pdf 1 3601DC0469CD2AC5EC8544956A94DD41 a6353eb9e73029c3e728fc3bb0e85d6614242b953521989ac5f475fffe283cc4 a8f678fc-bf71-11ee-871e-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=175785 https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-030-15943-6_18 0 baf3497d-bf71-11ee-871e-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=175786 Fakulteta za turizem 0 0 0
