Egypt is in dire need of modern forms of agriculture that increase water conservation and food security and boost the production of clean healthy food. So entrepreneur Faris Farrag set up his enterprise, Bustan Aquaponics with a “strong belief that there is massive potential for the expansion of aquaponics, both regionally and in other locations that have issues with food security and water.” Farrag tells Entrepreneur Middle East, “Many island nations (Puerto Rico as a good example) have a natural need for these types of systems as one of many different approaches to reduce their dependence on imported food without doing significant damage to the very finite resource of clean water.”
