Modelling of agrictech storage infrastructure for fish farming and aquaculture


Due to the lack of state of the art storage facilities onshore and offshore in fishing communities, fishermen in Ghana use ice blocks to preserve harvested fishes onshore and offshore.  Businesses attempting to solve this problem are not able to meet the demand forcing some fishermen to travel more than 300km three times a week to procure ice block. This model proposed an agrictech storage infrastructure to keep fish fresh while onshore and offshore.

COVID 19 Apps and Data Privacy


The Coronavirus Infectious Disease (COVID19) was first identified in Wuhan, Hubei Province, China in December 2019. By March 2020, what had been considered as an epidemic had left the shores of the country it was first reported infecting hundreds of thousands of persons across the world and recorded a few thousand deaths. The World Health Organisation subsequently declared a global pandemic.

The fight has seen the use of digital technologies in many different forms including the use of mobile apps. These mobile apps function as a medium to directly communicate preventive measures to combat the spread of the virus, contact trace, coordinate response management, meet virtually with medical professionals, perform self-diagnostic or identify potential hot zones.
