How aquaponics can outperform hydroponics

Even though hydroponic systems use scientifically optimized man-made nutrient solutions, aquaponic plants have been shown to be healthier, more productive, and more nutrient rich than those from hydroponic production. This is possibly because the complex microbial communities present in aquaponics stimulate root growth and nutrient uptake in ways we still do not fully understand.

A new paper published by the Aquaponics Association delves a bit deeper into this subject. These microorganisms are responsible for nutrient-delivery, disease-suppression, and environmental regulation. The positive results include healthier roots, less spoilage, and more nutritious produce.
