Research & Innovation

Research under real-world conditions

AQUAFLY investigates how biological, technical and economic components interact within an integrated production system rather than evaluating technologies in isolation.

Native Tilapia

Efficiency and rearing of native tilapia species within the integrated production system.

Crops & NUS

Cultivation of traditional vegetables, herbs and neglected and underutilized crops relevant to local food production.

Black Soldier Fly

Utilisation of biogenic residues through BSF rearing and production of a local protein component for fish feed.

Processing

Processing, preservation and storage of food and animal feed, including solar-drying technologies.

Economics

Continuous operational data on infrastructure, inputs, operating costs and production performance.

Socio-economics

Participatory research on self-sufficiency, market access, management and implementation conditions.
