New initiatives are introduced at our Living Labs! This time black netting covers have been implemented to effectively reduce light intensity within the tanks. The aim of this innovation is to:
– Create a more controlled environment
– Ensure the well-being of the living world
– Secure optimal growth
Exciting developments are underway at Njala University in Sierra Leone as rice husk carbonisation takes centre stage, showcasing the institution’s commitment to sustainable practices. Meanwhile, a remarkable 30.2kg of fish has been harvested from the Living Lab, with detailed information carefully documented. Notably, Aquaculture and Fisheries Management students used 15.2kg of freshly harvested fish for their practical processing sessions. This demonstrates an approach to learning and skill development within the university’s dynamic educational system.
Students from the Department of Engineering at the College of Technology, University of Bamenda, have embarked on an innovative project. Inspired by their visit to the Bamenda University of Science and Technology – BUST Living Lab of INCiTiS-FOOD, students have constructed prototypes during their practical sessions both at graduate and undergraduate levels.
One participant conveyed the collective perspective of all team members engaged in this project:
“We believe that by harnessing the power of organic compost, we can create a more environmentally friendly and resilient agricultural system.”
The initiative not only demonstrates students’ practical application of knowledge but also highlights their commitment to sustainable agriculture.
Students want to learn and gain valuable practical experience. At Egerton Living Lab students are taking data on fish parameters. This practical exercise deepens their understanding of fish biology, behaviour, and aquaponics.
Collaboration is very important for success! The KU Living Lab team is working closely with three students. The goal is to share knowledge, learn together and build a more sustainable agriculture together.
It is very eventful at the University of Ibadan! As a part of the academic journey, Practical year students of the department are attending their training sessions. Also, a training session has been organized for Agriculture students at Immanuel College in Ibadan. Meanwhile, technical assistants are actively engaged in the Insectary, focusing and working on the Black Soldier Fly (BSF) pupae, with the aim to advance research and practical knowledge in insect farming.
The Nigerian Air Force was impressed upon reviewing the prototype from the Aglobe Development Center. Dedication and hard work put into the creation of the prototype was recognised. The innovative design exceeds expectations!
We are once again bringing the news from Egerton Living Lab! Sustainable agriculture is transforming people in Nakura. Farmers are now eating healthy food during well-deserved breaks, after all the hard work they have done.
The Aglobe Development Center Team is dedicated to empowering the next generation through the balanced blend of knowledge and nature. Their mission involves nurturing minds and planting the seeds of sustainable urban agriculture at Airforce Secondary School in Shasha, Lagos, Nigeria.
At Njala University, the team is working on more sustainable agriculture while advancing the field of insect farming. The whole team is working hard and managing tasks together with other members of the department.
