Community-Based Fish Culture in Seasonal Floodplains
Type: Journal Article
During the rainy season in extensive river floodplains and deltaic lowlands, floods render the land unavailable for crop production for several months each year. These waters are considerably underutilized in terms of ...
Priority setting for research on aquatic resources: an application of modified economic surplus analysis to natural resource systems
Type: Journal Article
In contrast to research on farming systems, research on natural resource systems seldom applies rigorous priority setting techniques, mainly due to difficulties associated with estimating research impact ex ante for such ...
Integrating agriculture, fisheries and ecosystem conservation: Win-win solutions
Type: Journal Article
Integrated Agriculture-Aquaculture (IAA) is essentially diversification of agriculture, leading to synergisms among sub-systems resulting in a higher productivity from land/water area under the farmers' control. One method ...
