Flagship project

School-Centred AgriTech Hubs

SCAH turns schools into practical learning and demonstration centres for modern, climate-smart agriculture — modular, context-specific, and built with each school community.

The idea

Why schools?

Schools bring together students, teachers and parents. A working hub becomes a classroom, a demonstration plot and a meeting point for local farmers.

SCAH is not a fixed package. Each hub is assembled from components that match the school's space, water, power, curriculum and goals.

Circularity

One loop, many outputs

Fish water feeds vegetables, residues and manure go to recovery, and treated water and compost come back into the system. Value is recovered only where it is safe and feasible — every reuse pathway needs documented water-quality, food-safety and biosecurity controls.

  • Aquaculture

    Fish · nutrient-rich water

  • Hydroponics

    Vegetables · plant residues

  • Poultry

    Eggs & meat · manure

  • Recovery hub

    Compost · treated water
