Seafood in Food Security: A Call for Bridging the Terrestrial-Aquatic Divide
Type: Journal Article
The contribution of seafood to global food security is being increasingly highlighted in policy. However, the extent to which such claims are supported in the current food security literature is unclear. This review assesses ...
Fisheries in transition: Food and nutrition security implications for the global South
Type: Journal Article
Fisheries and fish supply are undergoing a fundamental structural transition, as indicated by a ten country analysis. Aquaculture now provides around half the fish for direct human consumption and is set to grow further, ...
Integrated aquatic and terrestrial food production enhances micronutrient and economic productivity for nutrition-sensitive food systems
Type: Journal Article
Integrated aquaculture–agriculture (IAA) is a form of crop diversification where aquatic and terrestrial foods are grown together on a single parcel of land. We compare economic and nutrient productivity per hectare for ...
Current state of knowledge on induced breeding of nutrient-rich small indigenous fish species
Type: Internal Report
This report aims to assess the current understanding of induced breeding techniques for specific
nutrient-dense SIS while also identifying crucial gaps in knowledge to address. The species selected for
evaluation were ...
Faltering fisheries and ascendant aquaculture: Implications for food and nutrition security in Bangladesh
Type: Journal Article
Bangladesh has made considerable progress against human development indicators in recent years, but malnutrition resulting from poor dietary diversity and low micronutrient intakes remains entrenched. Fish is central to ...
Food systems transformation, animal-source foods consumption, inequality, and nutrition in Myanmar
Type: Journal Article
This study traces the consumption of animal-source foods (ASF) during a period of rapid economic change and food system transformation in Myanmar. We use data from two nationally representative consumption surveys conducted ...
COVID-19 impacts and adaptations in Asia and Africa’s aquatic food value chains
Type: Working Paper
We tracked the impacts of COVID-19 on aquatic food value chains in Bangladesh, Egypt, India, Myanmar and Nigeria during 2020. We assessed the availability and price of aquatic foods and production inputs using a high ...
Unlocking the technology for mola (Amblypharyngodon mola) mass production hastens nutrition-sensitive aquaculture in India
Type: Journal Article
Despite advances in health services, undernutrition remains one of the major public health issues in India. The recent National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5) highlighted pervasive malnutrition among children and women in ...
Hatchery-based mass production of mola (Amblypharyngodon mola) seed to scale nutrition-sensitive aquaculture
Type: Conference Proceedings
Nutrition-sensitive approaches to aquaculture promote the production of micronutrient-rich small indigenous species (SIS) such as mola Amblypharyngodon mola, which is particularly rich in essential micronutrients, including ...
Hatchery-based mass production of mola (Amblypharyngodon mola) seed to scale nutrition-sensitive aquaculture
Type: Presentation
Despite advances in health services, undernutrition remains one of the major Challenges in India. In Assam, Odisha, and West Bengal, more than 30% of children are malnourished and more than 60% of children and women are ...
