  • We live at such a time when the threat of global hunger does not manifest itself in any way. Africa remains the only continent where news on this topic periodically comes from. Ironically, Egypt, most of which is occupied by the lifeless African desert, never gets into the headlines of such news of the mass famine. How do they do it? The epic mega-project that will make Egypt the largest fish producer on the continent and enhance food security in the country is featured in this video on the Innovative Techs channel!

      @@ramsses5175 I think it deeply rooted for thousands of years. I mean, despite being a part of the African continent, Egyptians are unique. They're closer to the Mediterranean (later with a mix of Caucasians and Arabs) than the rest of the many African tribes. I guess, being isolated by the desert for thousands of years can make you focus on thinking of survivability and thus creating a more modern society than the rest. Also, they're lucky that they have that tiny itty bitty land bridge that connects them to the rest of the Eurasian continent thus making trading a lot easier.
      This is where "the hates" come from because of jealousy because Egyptians were and are able to thrive despite not having a single bit of lush and rich forest.

      Really?...Who would hate Egyptians?...It is the Egyptians who do not consider themselves African; in fact the entire North Africa look down upon the rest of Africa inhabitants. They consider themselves Arabs and are even in the Arab League; they never joined the African Union until recently when they started wanting to associate themselves with the rest of us, after realizing that all along they have been Africans. No one is jealous of them, for what reason will it benefit other Africa inhabitants?

      Farming predatory fish like salmon puts an enormous stress on the food fish. Ecologically it makes much more sense to farm plant-eating fish. Most farmed fish are plant-eating but the Western world doesn't know about it because most farmed fish is produced and consumed in Asia. That's why Westerners think everybody talks about salmon when they hear fish farm. Actually, grass carp is the number one most farmed fish in the world.

      Egypt is keen on renewables nowadays. 20% of it's energy is renewable now including the world's largest photovoltaic solar farm "benban"
      Some of these fish projects use dual phase water purification and uses tiny hydrodams to capture back the energy before releasing the water in the sea.
      While others treat bio waste to be used as fertilisers to cultivate the desert.

      I have just researched it. They have like 4 different types of basins. In the first one, they use sea water and raise fish that need clean water and are directly fed ( gilt-head bream & bass). The waste water is then fed to the second type of basins in which they raise other types of fish that feed of the waste (mullets) and further down the line they raise algae and shell fish to complete the biological treatment. At the end the quality of the water should be similar to the fresh water used and I think that they make regular analysis of the water quality.
