Abstract:The world is facing a number of serious problems of which population rise, climate change, soil degradation, water scarcity and food security are among the most important. Aquaponics, as a closed loop system consisting of hydroponics and aquaculture elements, could contribute to addressing these problems. However, there is a lack of quantitative research to support the development of economically feasible aquaponics systems. Although many studies have addressed some scientific aspects, there has been limited focus on commercial implementation. In this review paper, opportunities that have the potential to fill the gap between research and implementation of commercial aquaponic systems have been identified. The analysis shows that aquaponics is capable of being an important driver for the development of integrated food production systems. Arid regions suffering from water stress will particularly benefit from this technology being operated in a commercial environment. OPEN ACCESSSustainability 2015, 7 4200

v Preface Which of us is not familiar with this situation during the student time: on a Wednesday night, one wants to go out to grab a beer ("just one Duveltje") with friends. Until the end of the night (and several beers later) one was trapped in several discussions about religion, politics, and one's field of study. I have to admit, that I have been involved in plenty of such discussions, which also stems from the fact that I am a very discussion-friendly and curious person. However, I caught myself often saying the same sentence "well, the idea is great, but it actually does not really work as it should" with respect to two topics: Aquaponics and Communism. This might appear to be a somewhat far-fetched statement, however, for those who have neither read Marx nor followed the development of aquaponics the last 30 years: in a nutshell it can be stated that both of these ideas follow bottom-up (i.e. local and circular) approaches (i.e. for small farmers and individuals).Additionally to the above, I honestly believe that in times of the financial crisis -in which multinational corporations such as [think of big corporations that produce GMO seeds that are immune to their pesticides] increase their quasi-monopoly positions on the global food market -a paradigm shift back to human-centred and sustainable agricultural development is required to ensure both (1) healthy (i.e. pesticide free) diets and (2) food independence. In contrast, organic, fair trade, and GMO-free food have recently gained rapidly increasing popularity. Consumers want transparent and extensive information about the origin and manufacture of the foodstuffs they buy. The development of agriculture and how to use (finite) resources efficiently will be crucial with respect to the global development and the future of the earth in general. Right now, we are at a crossroads in our history that will determine whether either the people or the corporations will be empowered. I intended to provocatively illustrate this new class conflict on the book cover with the objective to polarize and thus energize the readers themselves to make thoughts and reflections.So far, I have dedicated over 4 years of my life to study and improve aquaponic systems in the hope that one day their production efficiency will be able to compete with state-of-theart hydroponic food production systems, while improving circularity. In this thesis, I will try to demonstrate why aquaponics does not face the same pitfalls as communism, while sharing the empowering people-minded and bottom-up qualities that are required in the 21st century.

“…The pathogen favors cool and moist conditions, and is extremely difficult to control (van Kan 2005;Williamson et al 2007;Shishido 2011;Shim et al 2014). Organic hydroponics, which use corn steep liquor (CSL) as a nutrient source (Shinohara 2006;Shinohara et al 2011), were developed to control bacterial (Fujiwara et al 2012) and fungal soil-borne (Chinta et al 2014) diseases. Thus, this specific type of hydroponic cultivation may become a potential disease management method for B. cinerea infection.…”

“…Thus, this specific type of hydroponic cultivation may become a potential disease management method for B. cinerea infection. Previous research has shown that CSL promotes the growth of a beneficial microbial community (Shinohara 2006;Shinohara et al 2011;Fujiwara et al 2012;Chinta et al 2014). These microbes rapidly colonize the nutrient solution and rhizosphere of the cultivated plants (Valance et al 2010).…”

Here, we propose that organic hydroponics trigger induced systemic resistance (ISR) in lettuce against air-borne Botrytis cinerea, which causes gray mold. We compared effects of organic and chemical hydroponics, assessed presence of ISR elicitors in the hydroponic nutrient solution, and investigated molecular mechanism of ISR. Organic hydroponics significantly reduced gray mold lesions in lettuce (cultivated hydroponically) and cucumber (cultivated in soil and foliar sprayed with nutrient solution). The 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid synthase gene in lettuce and lipoxygenase and ethylene receptor-related gene in cucumber showed heightened expression, suggesting that the jasmonic acid/ethylene (JA/ET)-signaling pathway was involved in ISR for both crops. Low salicylic acid β-glucoside levels confirmed role of the ISR signaling pathway. ISR in both lettuce and cucumbers indicated that elicitors in organic hydroponics were nonhost-specific and that the JA/ET pathway was activated without microbe-root interaction. Thus, organic hydroponics can be an effective method for both soil-borne and air-borne disease control.
