Acknowledging the insecurity of future food supply, Singapore has set out goals to transform its agriculture & aquaculture technology - to resolve the pressing need to dramatically increase food production while minimizing ecological impacts.

With the scarcity of land in Singapore, the usage of technology to produce food with less space is vital in our local farms. Aquaculture Intensification - achieved through the technology transfer of water and management and nutrition of high-density culture - can be Singapore’s niche in the world’s marathon of feeding the world.

 

Besides being able to produce, concerns are raised about production practices and reducing aquaculture’s environmental footprint.

 

This has propagated the move from traditional flow-through systems to a controlled closed system for a ’Farm to Fork’ traceability - with Food safety as the main concern.

 

Efficient utilization of water, energy and space is vital in Singapore’s economical and geographical landscape. Blue Aqua International has developed a cost-productive super-intensive culture method and farm system design capable of producing 100 tonnes of shrimp annually within a limited land space of 1.5 hectares in Singapore.

 

This developed modular system will be replicated in Oman, Thailand, and other countries to extend our reach into sustainable food security, job creations, and other economies of scale.
