How are you surviving in this lockdown? Are you sanitizing your hands and practicing social distancing??

Our first training this year. Its on and its going to be big and better. Make sure you attend.

Yesterday we commenced production of our Oyster mushsroom (Pleurotus ostreatus). Only 2 weeks are needed for the spawn to grow to full web of root-like threads of mycelium and colonise the growing substrate. For now we wait and see how it goes. Stay tuned for more updates!

Last week we resumed our routine Water Quality Monitoring exercise. It was raining but the team would not be deterred.

Last week we concluded our Lake Monitoring program for the year with the Biodiversity Survey around Lake Kariba. It was quite an experience. Preliminary results indicate our fish diversity is still okay however the invasive Australian red claw crayfish (Cherax quadricarinatus) has spread to all the Lake basins.

Sights from our Aquaculture training workshop recently held in Kariba. 41 farmers attended the course and they all completed the course successfully. For more information on how to get the training material call or whatsapp Terence 0778 367 573.

Be sure to attend!!!!!!!!

As we prepare for our Mushroom production project, we first have to dry the substrate that we will use for growing the mushrooms. In this case we are going to be using Banana straws as our substrate

Part of the consulting work we do for local companies who want to assess water quality of the river systems they use.
