FEAT4AFRICA Food-Energy-Water-Health Innovations for Sustainable Development in Africa

The FEAT4AFRICA project aims to boost food and nutrition security (FNS) in African urban areas by integrating agri-food technologies within a Living Lab (LL) network that will enable diffusion and acceptance of innovation. It seeks to improve urban food literacy, enabling residents to make informed decisions that benefit their health, environment, and communities. The project introduces low-cost, soilless and solar-powered food production systems—hydroponics, bioponics, aquaponics, and recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS)—to strengthen the Food-Water-Energy-Health Nexus and promote sustainable livelihoods while minimizing environmental impact.
