SLIDE 2

2050= 9.3 Billion people

We have destroyed land and produced Climate change

SLIDE 3

Consuming resources and arable land...On the other hand, we have plenty of water space that we could transform into a productive tissue...

SLIDE 4

since out of 35 world Megacities have a physical access to water (seas, lakes or rivers)

Why?

Megacities fast growing pace & population
By 2030, food demand is predicted to increase by

50%(70% by 2050) - United Nations

Increased wealth and shifting diets
Avoid huge amount of food imports + reducing food

mileage(i.e US imports 90% of consumed seafood, Gulf region 90% or Singapore imports 90%(AVA)

Limited land availability(land scarce) and land

premium prices

A more controlled, cleaner and sustainable farming

aquaculture high volume production and aquaponics

Year-round high yield production, not depending
n external/weather conditions
Guarantee local food quality control

Lower level Fish Farms

In optimal conditions, one single module of 200 X 350 m footprint could annually produce 8.152 tons of fresh vegetables and 1.703 tons of fjsh. The project has a positive NPV and payback periods of around 6-8 years. Aim of an Integrated Multi-Trophic Aquaculture (IMTA)

Maybe this can be a small contribution to the overall problem, but in my thinking

ther complementary ways to traditional

ways of production need to be tested, the sooner the better.
