Following a successful partnership with FoodTechAfrica, a Dutch-based NGO, Kamuthanga is the first fish farm in the region to receive the Eco Mark certification from the African Organization for Standardization (ARSO). Joseph Odhiambo, farm manager, explains how the farm has evolved.
 

When was the farm established?

The farm was established in 2013. Because this is a semi-arid area, where water is a big challenge, we were forced to establish a recirculating aquaculture system (RAS) using concrete tanks. It is a system that is used in areas with little water and limited space, but is capital intensive. The dirty water from cleaning the filter is used to grow plants, like tomatoes and spinach.
