FoodTechAfrica
As the world population increases, so does the need for high quality, safe and nutritious food. Our challenge? To increase supply, without damaging the environment. Farmed fish could potentially meet this growing demand and environmental criteria. In Kenya, FoodTechAfrica works with local partners to develop a sustainable aquaculture sector using localised Dutch technology.
From egg to market
To help Kenya develop a sustainable and profitable aquaculture sector, in 2013 a group of 21 Dutch and Kenyan companies and knowledge institutions formed the FoodTechAfrica consortium. As they cover the whole fish value chain together, they have developed a strategy for the entire industry – from egg to market. Because producing healthy and high-quality fish requires an all-encompassing plan, from quality feed and seed to technology transfer and knowledge development.
