Feasibility study to develop an aquaponics facility based on a semi-enclosed/protected environment as a climate change adaptation measure to be replicated in Peru 

Deadline: March 3, 2025

Peru’s Ministry of Production has developed a National Aquaculture Policy aimed at making the sector more competitive, sustainable, and resilient to climate change by 2030. The policy focuses on doubling sales, increasing Peru’s share of Latin American aquaculture production, and improving food security and livelihoods. It includes adaptation measures under the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs), a Circular Economy Roadmap, and pilot aquaponics projects in vulnerable coastal communities. However, climate change poses significant challenges, including impacts on species distribution, infrastructure, and freshwater availability, threatening food security and livelihoods.

This Technical Assistance will carry out a feasibility assessment of an aquaponics facility based on a semi-enclosed/protected environment for Peru with a climate change resilience approach. Some of the expected outputs are:

• Development of a workplan and related communication documents.
• Establishment of the project working group specific to the country context.
• Diagnosis of the current situation of aquaponics in Peru with a climate change perspective.
• Specific technical and functional and model recommendations for the development of aquaponics in Peru
• Generation of technical manuals considering the optimal production types prioritized for Peru.
• Development of aquaponics projects in Peru encouraged.
