Pond Polyculture: Disrupting gender and cultural norms in Luwingu, Northern Province, Zambia

Abstract

Pond polyculture is one of the methodologies employed through the nutrition-sensitive fish agri-food systems approach as means to improve food and nutrition security and livelihoods in vulnerable communities. The ‘Managing Aquatic Agricultural Systems to Improve Nutrition and Livelihoods in Selected Asian and African Countries: Scaling Learning from IFAD-WorldFish Collaboration in Bangladesh’ was a three-year project, funded by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the European Union, and implemented in Cambodia and Zambia. This work was undertaken as part of the CGIAR Research Program on Fish Agri-Food Systems (FISH).
