A circular tri-trophic system incorporating plants, fish, and insects turns waste into a resource: case study with the cultivation of cucumber
In conclusion, DCAP proved to be highly productive, overcoming the limitations observed in CAP, while offering increased environmental and economic advantages compared to HP. The circular tri-trophic system's performance demonstrated its efficacy in harnessing synergies to optimize resource use and ensure high productivity and self-sufficiency.
