aquatic systems

The Global Challenges Programme aquaponics project received the Dutch research partners of the consortium for field visits in Ethiopia. They visited all three project sites, Shewa Robit, Hawassa and Metehara. »

This Global Challenges Programme project aims to increase the production of fish and vegetables while saving scarce natural resources, through the transfer of prototype aquaponics systems to rural households in Ethiopia. In March 2016 eight aquaponics systems were constructed and in November 2016 another thirty were finished.  »

In September 2016, all beneficiaries of the Global Challenges Programme project “Sustainable integrated fish-vegetable production in Ethiopia” attended the Aquaponics trainings. The project aims at increasing nutrition security of rural households in Ethiopia. »
