Integrated wetlands for food production.

The widespread use of compound pelleted feeds and chemical fertilizers in modern food production contribute to a vast amount of residual nutrients into the production system and adjacent ecosystem are major factors causing eutrophication. Furthermore, the extensive development and application of chemical compounds (such as chemical pesticides, disinfectants and hormones used in enhancing productivity) in food production process are hazardous to the ecosystems, as well as human health. These unsustainable food production patterns cannot sustain human living in the long run. Wetlands are perceived as self-decontamination ecosystems with high productivities. This review gives an overview about wetlands which are being integrated with food production processes, focusing on aquaculture.

在现代食品生产中，复合颗粒饲料和化肥的广泛使用导致大量残留养分进入生产系统以及邻近的生态系统，这是造成富营养化的主要因素。此外，化合物（如用于提高生产力的化学农药、消毒剂和激素）在食品生产过程中的大量开发和应用对生态系统以及人类健康有害。从长远来看，这些不可持续的食品生产模式无法维持人类的生存。湿地被视为具有高生产力的自净生态系统。这篇综述概述了与食品生产过程相结合的湿地情况，重点是水产养殖。
