Empowering farmers through aquaponic technology

NjordFrey is a social enterprise that provide tech-enabled farming solutions to empower smallholder farmers achieve income and food security.

We locally design and build aquaponic farms to significantly increase the production of fish and diverse crops, all in one soil-less closed loop system.

We then support farmers operate farms with training and access to our digital monitoring system that ensures production is maximised at all times, while averting risks.
