Rastech: Advancing Sustainable Aquaculture in Scotland
Rastech, a Scottish AgriTech SME, is pioneering controlled-environment aquaculture systems that set new standards for sustainable food production. At Eden Campus, Rastech operates a solar-powered demonstration farm producing land-grown king prawns, showcasing how aquaculture can thrive with minimal environmental impact.
The protected growing environment excludes diseases and parasites, removing the need for antibiotics or chemicals, while resource efficiency is significantly improved – using up to 12 times less electricity, 10 times less water, and 20 times less heat than conventional systems.
