“…According to the authors of [123], the implementation of sustainable production methods involves working with natural and social systems, including conserving agriculture in general, and the agroecological process and food production process principles more specifically. The major principle of sustainable food production and the reduction of environmental impacts [124] must take into account soil management, crop management, and genetic management to protect biodiversity as part of the concept of agricultural conservation [125].…”

“…Aquaponics, as a type of urban agriculture ensuring the supply of fresh food [124], also contributes to the local economy by creating green jobs and offering social integration [169]. Furthermore, aquaponics enables urban areas to be more sustainable by promoting selfsufficiency and the implementation of low-carbon food production by growing high-value plants [170].…”

Focusing on new food production methods and sustainable pillars’ accomplishments has changed the definition of sustainable pillars themselves. Moreover, some general characteristics of the main pillars can be redefined in separate dimensions to better explain their positive sustainable impacts. Therefore, the main objective of this research is to redefine the sustainable pillars linked to food production and review the most important cultural and technological sustainability impacts they have, in addition to the three classic pillars: economic, social, and environmental sustainability. Cultural and technological sustainability are increasingly important complements to the traditional sustainability concept. Furthermore, new food production technologies and systems are influenced by ancient production methods, as well as by profitable crop selection. Traditional agricultural and aquaculture production in relation to more recent aquaponic production concepts are still a major part of global food security, but the better usage of waste materials or residues generates a more favorable agroecological impact. In conclusion, constantly redefining the sustainable pillars in the context of sustainable food production methods and proving the viability of their general production impacts is important.

In urban areas, there is little space available for vegetation but a potential for food production that merits to be exploited. aquaponics is a coupled system of two technologies of fish farming and soil-less vegetation, a scheme primarily proposed for hot arid regions with limited agricultural land resource availability for sustainable water reuse and food production operation. This research will include the aquaponics system as a provision of food for all occupants of a house in the most environmentally friendly manner possible. In comparison to standard vegetable production, the employment of this form of the aquaponic system results in effective water savings of up to 90% while producing part of the vegetables for salads for the residents of the BaityKool house. This paper presents the technological design of an aquaponic system as well as its architectural integration into a habitat in Dubai-UAE.
