How can we make traditional fish processing cleaner, safer, and more sustainable? For small fish like dagaa, blanching is an essential step before drying improving quality and market value. However, in coastal Kenya and Tanzania, it is traditionally done using wood fires, this not only drives up costs and contributes to deforestation and expose mainly women processors to harmful smoke. Simply Solar’s PVsteamCube offers a better way. It uses solar energy to produce steam for blanching, even at night. It improves energy efficiency through heat recovery, eliminates firewood use, reduces emissions, and enhances both product quality and worker safety. 🔗Link: on.cgiar.org/4fPTHwp #AquaticFoods #FoodSystems #BlueEconomy #Aquaculture #FoodSecurity #AABS

📊 Laying the groundwork for evidence-based aquaculture development in Kenya. The #CASA project has completed enumerator training with 40 participants across Kakamega, Nyeri, Tharaka Nithi, and Meru counties ahead of its baseline study. The data collected will help guide climate-resilient aquaculture solutions that strengthen food security and livelihoods.

🌊 Fish feed = Nigeria's biggest aquaculture cost. Fieldwork across Lagos & Oyo states reveals why locally produced feed stays expensive and what it takes to change that. The FASA project (@WorldFish @Norad) is working to fix it: affordable, nutritious, climate-resilient feed from local ingredients. 👇Read more on.cgiar.org/4drhIXQ #AquaticFoods #FoodSystems #BlueEconomy #Aquaculture #FoodSecurity #Livelihoods #ClimateChange
