Sažetak
The list of selected techno-scientific trends which could significantly influence our lives in the near future are: autonomous vehicles (AV), graphene, 3D printing, Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs), virtual currencies (Bitcoin), wearable technology, drones, smart homes technologies, electricity storage technologies (Hydrogen) and aquaponic systems according to the European Parliamentary Research Service. As the world's population continuing to expand rapidly, developing innovative and sustainable food sources is a key priority for Europe. Aquaponic systems are recirculating aquaculture systems that incorporate the production of plants without soil. An aquaponic system could significantly reduce the amount of water used for food production compared to existing methods of agriculture. The use of aquaponics could lead to the development of a more closed-loop system of agriculture wherein resource efficiency is prioritised, resulting in minimal economic throughput. This offers an opportunity to produce food in a more economically and environmentally sustainable way with produce being grown using a low level of resource-input. Many issues regarding funding of aquaponics development and innovation in EU are still unclear. Nevertheless, the economic, nutritional and health impacts of using such a method of production should also be considered in the future.
