With its vast water resources, including lakes, rivers and coastal areas, the African continent capacity for aquaculture development has been identified as a promising solution to address food security, as well as help in poverty eradication.
African Union-InterAfrican Bureau for Animal Resources (AU-IBAR) Director Dr Huyam Salih on Monday said the sector can contribute significantly to meeting the growing need for food by providing a sustainable and efficient means of producing fish, shrimp, and other aquatic species.
Moreover, she noted that the controlled environment of aquaculture systems allows for year-round production, reducing the impact of seasonal variations on food availability.https://www.capitalfm.co.ke/news/2024/01/african-governments-urged-to-partner-more-with-private-sector-to-enhance-aquaculture-production/
