Every conversation about the business this month, newest first, with its audio.
Green Arch Innovations runs aquaponics farming, growing vegetables and fish in one system and selling both. The founder, Louvo Gunwana, explains that setup costs are high but return on investment shows once the system runs, with systems ranging from small units to commercial scale.
“on a capital point of view, I mean, the startup capital to start this kind of farming is quite high, but you have your return on investment”
Green Arch Innovations builds controlled-environment smart farming systems, including aquaponics that uses fish water to grow fresh vegetables. The founder, Luvo Gwagwana, presents it as a way for communities to grow affordable food where it is needed most.
“So we build smart farming systems and which one of those systems is an aquaponics system.”
Green Arch Innovations uses aquaponics to grow vegetables as a way of tackling food security challenges. The host previews an upcoming interview with its founder during World Food Month coverage.
