Aquaculture Projects

Aquaponics, Aquaculture and Symbiotic Fish Farms

There is a tremendous need for sustainable food methods and resources, in every part of the world. In 2012, we began an initiative towards alternative food resources— focused primarily on Aquaculture, Aquaponic Systems and high density food production. We have developed 16 Aquaponic Systems at locations including; Thailand, Cambodia, Zimbabwe, India, Myanmar, Belize Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda.

Our Aquaponics System in Uganda engages Apprentices and the community in understanding new ways to meet the basic essential needs of growing food.  These self-contained, recirculating systems are efficient at saving one of the least accessible resources in Uganda — WATER.

Aquaponics projects and the application of Aquaponics is a fantastic solution to environments that lack the water access or soil quality needed for traditional farming.   We developed a versatile system and adaptive system that can be constructed, purchased, operated and maintained in almost any area of the world— keeping an attainable maintenance strategy at the core of how and where we build Aquaponics Systems.  We welcome interest in new projects like these, and we continue to provide instruction and advancement to existing Aquaponics Installations, as we develop these systems in ways that make sense to the local economy and climates.

Aquaponics is an effective way to grow thousands of fish and vegetables within small, self-contained units. We built and installed these systems around the world in 2012-2018. We have seen them enhance economies and create access to safe and healthy food, in a variety of countries with variable environments, circumstances, and community settings.  Our engineered systems use a small footprint and very little water to operate effectively and continuously. These systems can be extremely useful in the provision of organic food, income generation and efficient management of available man-power & resources. These recirculating aquaponics systems have no negative impact on the environment, including natural fish populations and natural waterways. They are especially beneficial, in times of weather inconsistency and a lack of the available water needed for traditional farming of crops.

Apprentices are taught the speciality of Aquaponics management and practice their skills while running the system, here in Uganda. Our goal is to showcase new technology options and farming concepts that will grow their creativity and lead the community towards new approaches- to traditional things.  Develop Sustainability is committed to providing ingenuity, knowledge and support programs— that can help decrease food insecurity and to work towards solving the difficulties of reliable food production.
