A production farm in Botswana where we commercial our new AI and AgTech innovations. Located a few km from Molepolole and about 50 km from the capital city, Gaborone.
WorldFish Collaboration
"Highly innovative with strong scientific merit. The integration of microbiome science and AI for real-time diagnostics presents a novel solution for improving pond health and productivity. Strong institutional capacity and co-design aspects are included." - Feedback from WorldFish review committee, 2025.
A collaboration with WorldFish members out of the Lusaka, Zambia office. Our project was selected as a top5 finalist in the 2025 Waves Challenge where Gregory Kasanga (a WorldFish researcher based in Lusaka, ZM) presented in Penang Malaysia.
Waves Challege Finalist
WorldFish is one of the world's leading NGO for fisheries and aquaculture, working with the World Bank Group, UN FAO, and similar organizations for 50 years.
WorldFish is a division of CGIAR.The project looks to form partnerships with small scale tilapia producers across Africa, especially those in rural and remote communities. Our technology leverages remote sensing, AI, and aquatic microbiome management to increase fish health and farm productivity.
Sustainability
Water Footprint
It takes a average of 15,000 liters (3,960 gal) to produce 1 kg (2.2 pounds) of beef. That is about 4 tonnes of water per hamburger!!! Our AquaQ technology in a RAS (indoor, recirculating aquaculture system) brings that down to less than 500 liters. Further, we are working on additional technologies and processes to bring it down to 50 liters per kg of seafood produced.
That is what we mean by transformative change in sustainability.
Solar Power
The good news and bad news of developing projects in rural Africa is that often there is no grid power to connect to. That means we sustainable power generation: solar, wind, biomass are great options to power our facilities, using battery and thermal storage.
However, power generation and storage is a huge part of our capital expenditures. Crowdfunding solar arrays helps us accelerate our growth, allowing us to help more people in more communities.
Consider sponsoring solar panels to offset your carbon footprint and help us grow!
