Building Climate Resilience in Aquaculture Through Digital Innovation 🇿🇲🌍
Today, Bio Green Technology reached a significant milestone with the successful installation of our Intelligent Fish Farm Febi Smart System at the Aquaculture Research and Development Center at the Mwekera Fish Ponds in the Copperbelt Province, Zambia.
This deployment forms part of our collaboration with WorldFish’s Blue Resilience Platform, a digital climate risk management initiative designed to strengthen the resilience of aquaculture systems across Southern Africa, particularly in Zambia and Malawi.
Aquaculture is increasingly affected by climate variability and extreme weather events, including rising temperatures, unpredictable rainfall, floods, droughts, and storms. These challenges can impact fish health, reduce productivity, damage infrastructure, affect water quality, and threaten the livelihoods of small-scale fish farmers who depend on aquaculture for income and food security.
Through the integration of Bio Green Technology IoT and AI-powered Febi Smart System, farmers can access real-time monitoring of essential water quality parameters that directly influence fish growth and survival:
🌡️ Temperature monitoring
💧 Dissolved Oxygen (DO) monitoring
🧪 pH monitoring
🧂 Salinity monitoring
When combined with Blue Resilience’s climate information, early warning systems, and tailored advisory services, real-time farm-level data empowers farmers and extension officers to make proactive, climate-informed decisions.
Instead of reacting after losses occur, farmers can anticipate risks and take preventive action from adjusting farm management practices to protecting fish stocks during extreme weather conditions.
The Blue Resilience Platform, co-developed by in collaboration with national fisheries and meteorological departments, bridges the gap between complex climate data and practical decisions at farm level. By delivering accessible climate intelligence, the platform supports small-scale fish farmers with the knowledge needed to adapt, improve productivity, and build sustainable aquaculture enterprises.
At Bio Green Technology, we believe that the future of aquaculture is data-driven, climate-smart, and inclusive. By combining local innovation, artificial intelligence, Internet of Things technology, and climate science, we are working towards a more resilient aquaculture sector that contributes to food security, economic empowerment, and sustainable livelihoods across Southern Africa.
We are honoured to collaborate with and all partners committed to transforming aquatic food systems through innovation.
