BUAN Aquaculture Project at National Science Week 2026 – Shakawe

The BUAN Aquaculture Project participated in the National Science Week held in Shakawe from 18–21 August 2026, showcasing innovative and climate-smart aquaculture solutions.

The project showcased Recirculating Aquaculture System (RAS) production models and potential locally available fish feed ingredients. As part of the community outreach, the project donated a RAS system with a capacity to hold 500 fish and 1,500–2,000 leafy vegetable, alongside a smaller prototype with a capacity to hold 200 fish and 1,000 plants. Basic aquaculture training was also provided to the Teemashane Trust and Boiteko Fisheries Syndicate, with participants gaining hands-on experience in basic aquaculture techniques.

The model promotes sustainable food production, rural income generation, climate resilience and reduced emissions through solar-powered aquaculture, while integrating fish and vegetable production and recycling nutrient-rich wastewater.
With the expedition, we are turning research into practical solutions for sustainable aquaculture, food security and community development in Botswana.
