Aatif Aquaponics

The innovative and ecofriendly farming startup is specialized in growing and selling organic horticultural products such as basil, mint and coriander using aquaponics and hydroponics farming techniques, which is new to the East African region. The combination of aquaculture and hydroponics uses fish waste as a nutrient for plants. Aatif Aquaponics has developed a small prototype aquaponics farm in Bububu, Zanzibar, growing fruits and vegetables that are typically not grown on the island due the inadequacy of the soil for traditional agriculture.
