Just a short message to convey the good news: Our project proposal on a Horizon Europe call was accepted. The INCiTiS-Food project, lead by TU München and BW Uni, aims to develop low tech hydroponic and aquaponic systems as well as insect production systems in six sub saharan countries. The systems shall be co-designed and built from locally available materials with local inventors and entrepreneurs in living labs. System sizes are going to range from domestic systems to small commercial farms, encouraging self sufficiency and entrepreneurship.
I’m really stoked because I think this 4 year project is going to have a tangible impact. Very much looking forward to starting the project.

If you are interested in future collaborations, we are running an aquaponic company in Rwanda - with links to both Scotland and Denmark.
