About

Dr. K.C. Surendra is a leading voice in sustainable bioresource management, with a research focus that bridges anaerobic digestion, nutrient recovery, and innovative food production systems. His most influential work critically examines aquaponic systems, demonstrating how the symbiotic cultivation of plants and fish can address global food security challenges through nutrient recovery, water reclamation, and reduced land and freshwater use. This 2025 review, already garnering 15 citations, highlights the substantial hurdles—including inconsistent production and economic viability—that must be overcome for aquaponics to achieve its potential. Beyond this, Dr. Surendra’s broader contributions to bioenergy and waste-to-value technologies have shaped how researchers approach integrated resource recovery. His work is widely cited for its practical, systems-level thinking, offering a roadmap for transforming agricultural waste into renewable energy and high-value co-products. For students and researchers, Dr. Surendra’s research provides a compelling blueprint for designing circular bioeconomies that are both environmentally sustainable and economically feasible.
