    This week, a training program on #water #recirculation technologies in #aquaculture was conducted in #Brussels for 13 young fish farmers from the Afram Plains South District (JV Farm Project) in #Ghana. The participants, all keen investors in aquaculture, were introduced to #aquaponics, #aquamimicry, Recirculating Aquaculture System #RAS and #Biofloc Technology System #BFT. The training focused on understanding how these various production systems can be implemented to conserve water in fish farming projects. Furthermore, the participants were equipped with the knowledge necessary to evaluate the #feasibility of their new aquaculture #ventures. As part of the program, the young entrepreneurs had the opportunity to visit the aquaponics garden of AquaponieBxl and the urban farm of BIGH . This training initiative is supported by the Ghanaian program "aquaculture for food and job." #fishfarming #circulareconomy #tilapia #sustainability NOE Aquaculture Consultants BIGH AquaponieBxl Laurence Vanneyre Lisa Ricci Audrey Boucher

    🔎On the Field: On March 29th, the Executive Master in Sustainability Transformation participants embarked on an enlightening field visit to BIGH, a pioneer network of sustainable aquaponic farms. This visit was a deep dive into environmental sustainability, offering us a firsthand look at how Bigh is tackling current environmental challenges through innovative farming techniques. Our introduction to aquaponics was particularly interesting, showcasing a sustainable system where aquaculture and hydroponics work together to produce food more efficiently. ✅ During the visit, we also observed Bigh's outdoor garden where their two beehives are located. Although direct access to the greenhouses and the fish farm was restricted for biosecurity reasons, viewing these operations through glass windows gave us a clear view of the sustainable practices for growing fruits, vegetables, and fish! The tour concluded with a visit to the aromatic herb greenhouse. 🌿 This visit was more than an educational outing; it was a glimpse into the future of food production, where sustainability and innovation thrive together. 🙏 Thank you BIGH for welcoming us for this insightful tour! #SustainabilityTransformation #Aquaponics #FutureOfFarming #GreenInnovation #SolvayLifelongLearning Bernard Mathieu Nina Fortier (she/her)
