Foodwaste thematic challenge

Introduction & Context

• Aim: Connecting tech hubs and start-ups working from Africa, Europe and India on solutions for foodwaste-related problems

• Why foodwaste? 1/3 of food produced globally is lost before consumption. This challenge is linked to UN SDGs & AU Agenda 2063, potential to contribute to

sustainable agriculture, increased food security, reduced environmental impact of food production.

• Background: This challenge, launched in the AEIP network in January 2021, builds on and expands on the already existing foodwaste platform in the Europe-India Innovation Partnership (EIIP),

which includes 40+ Indian and European startups developing innovative solutions to foodwaste. Subtopics of the challenge: (1) smart farming, (2) food processing, (3) logistics

and packaging, (4) supply chain management and (5) waste management and recycling

• The AEIP team will continue to support the foodwaste challenge until September 2021. We will then provide an update on steps to ensure continuity & handover to

other initiatives.

Collaboration focusing on improving the water quality for a fish hatchery.

Agsmatic limited have been working with water pH but not to a fish hatchery. FAMSMAT Limited have a case study farmer at

Kumasi, Ghana and with all his years of experience, sometimes lose his fingerlings as a result of changing water quality. On a

typical day, water samples has to taken to the water and

sanitation department for scientific test and recommendation but by the time the report is ready the fingerling are dead.

With our collaboration, we want

• want o develop a workable MVP to measure pH,

temperature, dissolved oxygen, nitrogen.• will improve our device durability, reliability in any

geographical area and most importantly calibration to meet any international certification body.

(precisely, Nigeria) from India for marketing and usage, if

the test run is successful on the fish specie and culture system in Africa.

3. D'connies Farm will support in the marketing of Brickcellsproducts in Africa.

4. Brickcells technologies will support D'connies Farm in the
