Abstract

An expanding global population necessitates stable food availability, yet agriculture suffers from the consequences of climate change water and energy scarcity. Intensive food production techniques like aquaculture and greenhouse vegetable growth can be highly productive and negatively impact the environment. This system is more environmentally friendly due to various initiatives and significant scientific advancements. Wastewater is water recycled from domestic, commercial, or industrial sources. The use of biofloc technology in the aquaculture industry has gained significant acceptance among aquaculture farmers. This achievement is because biofloc technology is a cultivation approach that leverages microbial group growth in water as a source of nourishment for cultivating organisms. This system has several advantages, making it an attractive alternative for meeting sustainable food needs and increasing resource efficiency. This paper aims to demonstrate how employing biofloc technology as a type of home (family) size urban farming. The technology is to overcome the challenge of urban society's limited land to provide food independently by combining fish and vegetable production with the biofloc system. The continuity of micronutrients in biofloc ponds for the growth of plants and fish in ponds aligns with environmental sustainability and food security principles.
