Fish for whom?: Integrating the management of social complexities into technical investments for inclusive, multi-functional irrigation
Type: Journal Article
Irrigation represents a long-standing water sector investment in South East Asia. However, despite the undeni-able benefits of food production, an irrigation/rice-centric strategy is insufficient in a multi-dimensional ...
Fish for whom? Integrating the management of social complexities into technical investments for inclusive, multifunctional irrigation
Type: Brief
Most interventions in the water sector remain technocratic and blind to trade-offs that undermine
overall development outcomes. The relationship between irrigation and inland capture fisheries is
a case in point, as ...
CGIAR Research Program on Fish Agri-Food Systems: A synthesis
Type: Brief
The fish agri-food system connects supplies of fish and other aquatic foods through multiple pathways and scales to diverse consumers across the planet and is a key component of the global agri-food systems. Fish and other ...
Human health impacts of dams and reservoirs: Neglected issues in a One Health perspective
Type: Journal Article
Dams have often been constructed for hydropower, water storage and to support socio-economic development, particularly in areas of water stress. In many places, the water stored in human-made reservoirs is essential to ...
Advancing research and development outcomes with fish in regional food systems
Type: Brief
