Aquaponics is a food production system that couples aquaculture with hydroponics whereby the nutrient-rich aquaculture water is fed to hydroponically grown plants.




This is an amazingly efficient method to grow crops and farm fish. Of course, modern tractors and farm equipment give rural farming a pertinent edge. However, without these tools, there's a very strong argument that this would be the most productive possible food source. However, needless to say, it requires a lot of work to build. There would be a slight production chain in order to make this.

This would be a strong late-game method of gathering vegetables and fish. Especially in modpacks like MM9, fishing is lackluster compared to other food collection methods. So, it's hard to roleplay a seafood-based society like Japan or Norway.

This is a good example if you don't require a massive production.
Maybe there is a way to make it for a smaller settlement. It would
fit into my Out of This World mod, which only has a fisherman and
some greenhouses.

It looks complicated in the picture, but all things are a one-time
investment. You do not have to specifically build an air pump or
a sediment tank. There are resource chains in CC or RKEC that can
be used. (MM is even better)

Good Luck with planning. :)
