AquaNam is a project ideated by Impact Tank that intends to create a horizontally and vertically integrated aquaponics ecosystem that results in skills development, employment and food security within Namibia's smaller towns.

​

Aquaponics is a food production system that couples aquaculture with hydroponics where the nutrient rich aquaculture water is fed to hydroponically grown plants. Both the fish and resultant vegetables can be consumed.

​

Our vision is threefold:

  • Build a commercially viable network of aquaponics farms owned and operatated by SMEs, producing well-priced green vegetables for local consumption;

  • Increase the awareness, acceptance and technical skills related to aquaponics and entrepreneurship;

  • Demonstrate Aquaponics as a
    viable farming solution within Namibian cities, encouraging replication, leading to wider impact such as import substitution.
