After four months in the tank, the fish at Njala University have reached an impressive weight. This milestone marks significant progress as the research moves closer to the completion of Phase 1. The study’s promising results are laying a strong foundation for further exploration into sustainable aquaculture practices, showcasing Njala University’s commitment to advancing innovative fish farming techniques.
The Njala University Living Lab has officially onboarded the key actors during a successful inaugural meeting. Representatives from various sectors gathered to discuss strategic goals and establish a foundation for collaborative efforts moving forward. Their involvement is crucial to the Living Lab’s mission of driving innovation and sustainable practices, with this meeting serving as an important moment in aligning their contributions towards shared objectives.
The University for Development Studies has successfully cultivated fruiting tomatoes and peppers. These vegetables are flourishing in the hydroponic section showcasing just how effective and sustainable soilless farming techniques can be. This story is another example of how circular food system approaches could help communities grow fresh produce even in challenging environments.
A new study has been initiated at Gabon Living Lab to explore the growth of okra using various innovative substrates such as coffee parchment and even coconut husks. To follow the innovative system developed within INCiTiS-FOOD all are irrigated with fish water through a drip system. This research aims to determine which substrates best support okra cultivation. The findings will provide valuable insights into eco-friendly farming techniques and their potential to enhance crop productivity.
The Njala University Living Lab has developed an innovative prototype that is planned to be showcased at four strategic locations across the country. This exciting roadshow aims to highlight cutting-edge solutions in sustainable agriculture and food production, bringing together local communities, researchers, and stakeholders to explore the impact of these developments. The prototype is part of ongoing efforts to foster knowledge exchange and explore practices that can boost agricultural innovation nationwide.
The Cameroon Living Lab is proud to announce the successful integration of cauliflower (Brassica botrytis), cabbage (Brassica capitata), and basil (Ocimum basilicum) into their outdoor circular farming solution system. These versatile crops are now flourishing in an innovative system that promotes sustainable practices.

Today, the Njala University Living Lab harvested 1.3 kg of fresh okra. Demonstrating their commitment to enhancing both food systems and community well-being, the Living Lab team promptly distributed the harvest products to local residents. By sharing their produce, the Njala University Living Lab continues to make meaningful contributions to local food security and community development.
Students at the Njala University Living Lab have achieved a remarkable milestone – harvesting an impressive 7.3 kilograms of okra. This achievement highlights their dedication to contributing to the project’s success and enhancing food production in general.
The Cameroon Living Lab recently conducted an onboarding training workshop for partners from the Bamenda University of Science and Technology (BUST) Living Lab. The workshop focused on essential topics of aquaponics, including systems management, water quality parameters, and fish feed and feeding. By covering these areas, the workshop ensured that all participants are well-prepared to support the Living Lab’s mission of advancing innovative and sustainable aquaculture practices.
Our partners had an interesting visit among themselves. Representatives from Aglobe Development Center and Universität der Bundeswehr München (UniBw M) recently visited the African Rural and Agricultural Credit Association (AFRACA) to discuss the open call. With the INCiTiS-FOOD Open Calls approaching this meeting served as a good starting point for future developments. This initiative underscores the commitment of both institutions to drive sustainable agricultural practices and enhance food security. Stay tuned for more updates on this promising collaboration.
