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 and Nicaragua.

Cameroon's National Development Strategy 2020-2030 aims to boost agricultural production, focusing on increasing yields, particularly on family farms. The country faces challenges from prolonged drought and rising temperatures.

Land issues are a significant challenge in African countries due to population growth, armed conflict, climate crises, governance problems, and major infrastructure projects, such as photovoltaic power plants which often encroach on agricultural land. For instance, Senegal's Kael solar power plant displaced numerous crop fields and grazing lands. The global rise in electricity demand intensifies competition for agricultural land and leads to deforestation. Agrivoltaic systems, which combine photovoltaic energy production with agricultural activities, offer a promising solution.

Background

Ecuador is a country known for its diverse ecosystems, which range from the Amazon rainforest to the Andes mountains. The floriculture sector is one of the country’s most significant agricultural industries, contributing to its economy and providing employment to thousands of people, particularly in rural areas. Despite the sector's competitiveness, many small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) in Ecuador face challenges due to high operational costs, limited access to financing, and increasing climate variability.
