This technology reduces water demand by 50%, lowers nitrogen and phosphorus runoff, and enhances water recycling for crop irrigation, supporting a circular economy. Adaptable to various users, MahuWévi boosts profitability (with an ROI of 30%) and aligns with key SDGs by promoting food security, environmental sustainability, and economic opportunities for youth and women in aquaculture.
BSFL proteins for sustainable local fish and chicken feed production A major challenge for fish and chicken farming in sub-Saharan Africa is the lack of a consistent and reliable supply of feed throughout the year. The rising cost of feed, which makes up 60-70% of total production expenses, adds to this problem. At the same time, about 30-40% of food produced today is lost or wasted, leading to large amounts of organic waste and animal manure that harm the environment if not properly managed. The traditional way of producing and consuming goods also creates issues for the economy, ecosystems, and society. To address these challenges, Black Soldier Fly (BSF) larvae composting offers a smart solution. This technology tackles two key problems: managing organic waste and reducing the high cost of animal feed in the region. BSF larvae turn organic waste into valuable protein feed for animals and nutrient-rich fertilizer, cutting down on waste sent to landfills and reducing environmental harm. The larvae are highly efficient at transforming organic by-products into protein-rich feed, providing a more sustainable option for fish and chicken farming. By reusing agricultural waste, BSF technology supports a circular economy that benefits both the environment and the economy.
Cage Culture: Dive Deep for a Sustainable Leap! Cage Systems for Fish Culturing is a method of aquaculture where fish are grown in floating cages in water bodies like lakes or rivers. The cages protect the fish, allow for controlled feeding, and make it easy to harvest the fish when they're ready. This technology is a cost-effective way to grow fish in a natural, safe, and controlled environment.
Rice-Fish System Boosts Profits, Enhances Lowland Land Use for Food Security and Prosperity The rice-fish farming system emerged as a solution to address various agricultural challenges. It was developed to counter widespread food and nutrition insecurity, the vulnerability of smallholder rice farmers to market shocks due to a lack of diversification, and environmental pollution resulting from excessive agrochemical use. This innovative approach not only enhances food and nutrition security but also boosts smallholder farmers' income through the combined sale of rice and fish. Additionally, the system promotes environmental safety by eliminating the need for agrochemicals, contributing to sustainable and resilient agricultural practices.
Easy-to-use solution for food traceability Fairfood offers advanced tracking solutions through Trace technology, enabling agricultural and food-related companies to transparently showcase the exact origins of their products. This technology empowers companies to openly provide evidence supporting claims of product sustainability, facilitating transparency and accountability. Whether through public disclosure or inclusion on product packaging, Trace technology enhances trust by giving consumers verifiable insights into the journey and sustainability practices associated with the products they choose.
Affordable animal feed for breeders The technology of "Cassava Peels for Animal Feed Production" holds significant importance in Sub-Saharan Africa, where large quantities of cassava peels are generated as byproducts of cassava processing. These peels, if not properly managed, create environmental hazards through uncontrolled dumping and burning. However, their potential as a valuable resource for rearing livestock and fish remains largely untapped. Cassava peels have the potential to serve as an excellent source of feed and fiber for animals, but their utilization has been hindered by drying constraints, the risk of aflatoxin contamination, and poor storability when traditional methods are employed. The introduction of simple equipment to mechanize the conversion of cassava peels into animal feeds offers solutions to these challenges. This technology reduces labor costs, shortens drying times, and improves the shelf life of feed products. By effectively utilizing cassava peels as animal feed, smallholder farmers and agri-food manufacturers can enhance the value derived from their cassava crops and address the scarcity of nutritious animal feeds. Additionally, the mechanized processing of cassava peels into wet cakes and dry mashes presents opportunities for job creation and business development in rural areas of Africa. Overall, this technology not only mitigates environmental issues but also contributes to improving food security, livestock production, and economic prospects in the region.
Preserving Water, Pond Liners for Sustainable Fish Farming. Pond Liners, an innovative water conservation technology, employ sheets of UV-resistant materials to form an impermeable layer between water and soil. This reduces water losses, prevents algal blooms, and facilitates nutrient cycling. Affordable and easy to install, these liners are crucial for fish farming in areas with sandy soils or limited access to freshwater.
Revolutionize your fish farming with IPRS for maximum yields and sustainability. The In-Pond Raceway System (IPRS) is a pivotal advancement in aquaculture technology, revolutionizing fish farming practices. By ensuring continuous water flow and efficient waste management, IPRS allows for significantly higher fish stocking densities. This translates to a substantial boost in fish production compared to traditional methods. The technology's emphasis on water quality optimization, aeration, and waste removal addresses critical factors for fish growth. Its benefits extend beyond productivity, encompassing cost-effectiveness, improved feed conversion, and environmental sustainability. IPRS represents a crucial innovation in meeting the growing demand for sustainable fish farming practices, making it a cornerstone in modern aquaculture.
Enhance fish farming efficiency with sustainable water systems, reducing resource wastage and ensuring robust fish growth. A recirculatory aquaculture system is a technology where water is recycled after filtration to remove suspended matter. This method is used for higher density culture of fish, allowing for maximum use of limited land and water. Water movement into and out of the tank maintains peak water quality conditions despite dense stocking rates. As water passes into the tank it provides oxygen and when it leaves it carries away waste products. Intensive aquaculture in tanks that operate at high stocking densities is furnished with a flow-through system that discharges water, cleans water, and pumps it back through the system. Tanks with a conventional flow-through systems are simpler in design but require an affordable and reliable source of quality water that can be used with minimal pre-treatment. Recirculatory systems are more complex and costly to install but have higher water use efficiency, higher feed conversion, and more exact disease control.
Aquaculture Innovation: Growing the Future, Nurturing the Waters Tank systems for fish culturing are land-based enclosures used for intensive fish production. They are suitable when there’s limited water or land, and require a complete feed diet. Tanks can be made of various materials and shapes, and are used for rearing species like catfish and tilapia at high densities. Regular sorting is needed to minimize mortality due to cannibalism.
Hapa Nets for Mass Fingerling Hatchery Production The "Hapa Nets for Mass Fingerling Hatchery Production" technology addresses the constraints faced by the aquaculture industry in Sub-Saharan Africa due to inadequate and inconsistent supply of high-quality fingerlings from improved fish breeds. Predation, uneven growth rates, and high mortality in open ponds limit aquaculture expansion. The introduction of "hapa" nets—small enclosures within ponds—serves to protect brooders, hatchlings, and juveniles from predators, ensuring better management of fish stocks. This technology allows for closer monitoring and adjustment of breeding, feeding, and aeration processes, resulting in improved fertilization rates, uniform growth, reduced mortality, and increased production of fry and fingerlings, thereby ensuring more reliable and stable returns on investment for hatcheries.
