The roles of homestead ponds and surrounding dike production of vegetables on farms in peri-urban and rural communities in central north Bangladesh were assessed. The study supports the view that small homestead ponds can contribute to the wider food supply, and that such "quasi-peasant" forms of aquaculture contribute to reduced poverty and enhanced dietary diversity and food security in the broader population.
