Sustainable food systems are no longer optional — they are essential for the future of our planet.
In this insightful episode of the E2C Podcast, we explore 3D Agri-Aquaculture Systems — a next-generation, integrated approach that combines agriculture, aquaculture, and water reuse to maximize productivity while minimizing environmental impact.
Our guest, Dr. Gourav Dhar Bhowmick, is an Assistant Professor at IIT Kharagpur, a proud alumnus of the institute, and a Post-Doctoral Fellow from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel. He is a recipient of the BIRAC-SRISTI Gandhian Young Technological Innovation (GYTI) Award (2016) and the Blaustein Center for Scientific Cooperation (BCSC) Postdoctoral Fellowship (2020–21).
In this conversation, we discuss:
– What 3D Agri-Aquaculture Systems are and why they matter
– The role of water and wastewater treatment in sustainable food production
– Benefits and challenges of integrating agriculture with aquaculture
– Environmental impact, water conservation, and bioenergy opportunities
– How such systems can drive positive, scalable change for industry, society, and climate resilience
Dr. Bhowmick also shares his vision for leveraging smart agricultural technologies, interdisciplinary research, and innovation to inspire early-career technologists and entrepreneurs worldwide.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in sustainability, agri-tech, aquaculture engineering, water systems, and climate-positive innovation.
