# Plant-Infused Fish Tanks Nature Garden is a Small Ecosystem Fish Tank That Grows Organic Food By Grace Mahas | Published 2020-03-05 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nature-garden References: [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/naturepon/nature-garden-self-cleaning-fish-tank-to-grow-organic-food?ref=discovery_newest) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/naturepon/nature-garden-self-cleaning-fish-tank-to-grow-organic-food?ref=discovery_newest) Nature [Garden](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mini-moonlit-desk-garden) is a [closed-loop ecosystem](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hemisphere) that produces organic fruits and vegetables while also doubling as a self-cleaning fish tank. The lack of maintenance not only frees up time for fish owners, but it also ensures owners do not need to use chemical fertilizers and pesticides -- appealing to conscious consumers. The Nature Garden creates the ideal nitrification process to sustain healthy fish and plants. Consumers can plant a variety of foods including strawberries, grapes, cantaloupes, watermelons, kale, cauliflower, and eggplant -- to name a few. In addition, the plants use up to 90 percent less water than [conventional gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aerospring-pinch-hydroponic-system) while growing up to 5 times faster than in soil reducing both time and resources necessary. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 83% | Freshness: 9% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Eco-friendly Closed-loop Systems:** Nature Garden fish tanks provide a prime example of a low-maintenance solution for growing organic produce and sustainably managing fish habitats. - **Hydroponic Gardening in Unique Spaces:** The Nature Garden system illustrates the potential of hydroponic farming in previously overlooked areas such as office spaces and apartments. - **Artificial Intelligence for Home Aquaponic Systems:** Integrating an AI program to manage fish health, feeding, and temperature regulation, could be the next step towards automating closed-loop ecosystems like the Nature Garden. ### Where This Applies - **Aquaponic Farming:** Aquaponic farming can benefit from closed-loop systems like the Nature Garden, allowing for streamlined integration of fish and plant growth. - **Home Aquariums and Fish Tank Industry:** The aquarium industry can explore innovative fish tank designs that make use of ecosystems for home gardening, providing a unique market for conscious consumers. - **Hydroponic Farming Industry:** Hydroponic farming systems can take inspiration from the Nature Garden's low maintenance system, creating more accessible and convenient hydroponic farming solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hydroponics Indoor Garden Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nutraponics.md) - [Urban Food Ecosystems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/living-sphere.md) - [Mini Mess-Free Garden Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydroponics-garden.md) - [Structural Smart Indoor Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/plantafrom-smart-indoor-garden.md) - [App Controlled Indoor Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydroponic-farm.md) - [AI-Powered Plant Care Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gardyn-studio-2.md) - [Self-Sustaining Indoor Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automated-hydroponic-indoor-garden.md) - [AI-Powered Autonomous Planters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gardyn.md) - [Minimalist Indoor Gardening Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balconyfarm-pot.md)
