Richard conducted a stakeholder analysis of the Asian aquaculture industry as part of his internship in the MatureDevelopment team.Growing up as young expatriate in Hungary and Bulgaria, coupled with an internship experience in Thailand, perpetuated Richard’s desire to explore the feasibility of aquaculture ventures in developing nations.
This motivation culminated in the choice to conduct a feasibility assessment on small-scale aquaponics systems for subsistence purposes in remote rural areas in Kyrgyzstan, Central Asia, as part of his Bachelor final thesis Watermanagement project together with MatureDevelopment.
To further deepen his understanding of the applicability of aquaculture globally, Richard is currently enrolled in the Masters Sustainable Development at Utrecht University, The Netherlands.
