USE OF TECHNOLOGY OF INTEGRATION OF AQUAPONICS AND LIVESTOCK FOR THE RESTORATION OF LIVESTOCK IN THE DEOCCUPIED TERRITORIES OF UKRAINE
Abstract
The article examines the prospects of using the technology of integrating aquaponics and livestock as an innovative approach to the restoration of livestock farming in the deoccupied territories of Ukraine. The ecological, economic and technological aspects of combining fish farming, hydroponic crops and cattle breeding to increase the efficiency of agricultural production are analyzed. A model of a closed biological cycle is proposed, which contributes to the restoration of soil fertility, reducing feed costs and minimizing environmental load. Potential challenges of implementing this technology are outlined, including the need for specialized training of personnel, initial investments and adaptation to local climatic conditions. The study confirms that the use of aquaponics in livestock farming can become a key factor in the sustainable development of agriculture and ensuring food security in the post-conflict period. One such approach is the integration of aquaponics and livestock farming. Aquaponics is a system that combines aquaculture (fish farming) and hydroponics (growing plants without soil) in a single biotechnological cycle. Water rich in organic matter from the fish is used to feed the plants, and the water purified by the plants is returned to the reservoir. Adding livestock farming to this system allows for the efficient use of organic waste from animals for biogas production and additional water fertilization. The article considers the use of aquaponics and livestock integration technology as a promising direction for the restoration of livestock farming in the deoccupied territories of Ukraine. In the context of military operations, the agricultural sector suffered significant losses, especially in livestock farming, where infrastructure was destroyed, livestock was destroyed, and ecosystem connections were disrupted. The restoration of the industry requires innovative approaches that will ensure production efficiency with minimal resource consumption and high environmental friendliness. This scientific research will contribute to the restoration of Ukraine's agricultural potential and ensure sustainable development of the agricultural sector in the post-conflict period.
