FAO-Funded Aquaponics Project Launched In Barbados 
Barbados GIS – The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has 
collaborated with the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and the Blue Economy, and local business 
Adams Aquafarms, on a project to train persons in aquaponics. 
Aquaponics is a sustainable way of integrating land-based fish farming with plant production. 
Both are placed in a tank, and the set up allows for them to coexist, with the waste produced 
by the fish fertilizing the plants, while the plants purify the water for the fish. 
The training, funded by the FAO, will take place at a demonstration facility, located at 
Adams Aquafarms, Hopewell, St. Thomas. The FAO is currently targeting 30 entrepreneurs 
and 10 teachers. 
Minister of Maritime Affairs and the Blue Economy, Kirk Humphrey, believes the project 
will be “transformative”, as it has the potential to empower Barbadians. 
“In aquaponics, you have the opportunity to have, at the same time, multiple sources of 
income [because] you’re getting plant production and fish to eat,” he said, adding that he 
would like the project to be expanded to include the average Barbadian. 
Reiterating that the development of the fisheries and agricultural sectors were key in 
Government’s vision for a “new Barbados”, Minister Humphrey said aquaponics would be 
beneficial, especially to those who live in areas too limited for medium or large-scale 
farming. 
The FAO’s Regional Project Coordinator at CC4FISH, Iris Monnereau, expressed a similar 
view, pointing out the aquaponics was well-suited for Barbados and the wider Caribbean, in 
light of water scarcity and persistent drought conditions. 
“It uses 90 per cent less water than traditional forms of agriculture …. It is a very efficient 
form of agriculture. It also doesn’t use fertilizer and has the added benefit of producing fish,” 
Ms. Monnereau explained. 
She added that the project was part of the FAO’s vision to promote climate resilient farming, 
while ensuring the establishment and sustainability of profitable agribusinesses in the 
Caribbean. 
Meanwhile, owner of Adams Aquafarms, Kristina Adams, said she was pleased to partner 
with the Food and Agriculture Organization on the initiative. 
She was also optimistic about its success, noting that while there was growing interest in 
aquaponics, access to technical support locally was an obstacle for many. 
According to Ms. Adams, the training would take the form of a five-day workshop consisting 
of classroom and practical sessions. 
Adams Aquafarm utilizes 1,500 square feet of space to produce 1,000 plants and 800 pounds 
of fish. Ninety per cent of the equipment used is sourced locally. 
Similar technology is also being adapted in neighboring countries like in Dominica.
