About Fishveg
Protein, Veg, Microgreens and no fossil fuels!
Why did we create Fishveg?
Fishveg was created to supply high end produce using no fossil fuels or GMO sourced seeds or fish. We weren’t happy with the way fish was farmed or how the veg was grown making the soil and oceans poorer isn’t sustainable!
Created by a team of professionals who collaborate there skills and tackle the ever growing need to sustainably feed families both good protein and vegetables. Founder and Engineer, Karl Ahmed piloted the growing techniques for years before investing in a fully commercial setup stretching to acres in the rural settings of Royal Berkshire.
What is the mission of Fishveg?
Its a British Agritech company that is committed to growing sustainable exotic (sushi grade) fish, vegetables and microgreens. Selling to the top end restaurant businesses, grown in Berkshire with a low carbon footprint, ethically farmed and with little waste.
Agriculture is the world’s largest industry. It employs more than one billion people and generates over $1.3 trillion dollars worth of food annually. Pasture and cropland occupy around 50 percent of the Earth’s habitable land and provide habitat and food for a multitude of species.
Fishveg is an innovative company that emerged during the unprecedented times of the 2020 Pandemic when there were rampant food supply issues. The creators of this company have come up with a unique solution to combat food scarcity by designing non-soil growing techniques that infuse the potency of Artificial Intelligence. Their non-soil approach has been proven to be the unparalleled method to support any type of crop. Furthermore, they simultaneously make use of sustainable resources such as the Sun, Wind, and the ground, allowing them to grow products while keeping in mind the preservation of Mother Earth. Unlike companies with immense growing centres that inherently carry a massive CO2 footprint, and put their entire production at risk of getting wiped out by a single disease, Fishveg has categorically strategized six distinct growing environments that enable them to specialize their produce rapidly as the demand surges. With Fishveg, you get quality produce that is not only healthy but also made with utmost care for the planet.
