Managing Aquatic Agricultural Systems to improve nutrition and livelihoods in rural Myanmar (MYNutrition) [Burmese version]

Abstract

The Managing Aquatic Agricultural Systems to Improve Nutrition and Livelihoods in Rural Myanmar (MYNutrition) project intends to adapt and scale up the successful innovative integrated aquaculture and fisheries/agriculture-nutrition linkages developed under the IFAD-funded Small Fish and Nutrition project in northeast and northwest rural Bangladesh in 2010-2013. This project aims to improve the nutrition and livelihoods of poor, rural households in aquatic agricultural systems in Myanmar, through increased intakes of micronutrient-rich small fish and vegetables from home production, as well as increased household income. This factsheet outlines the key elements and expected outcome of the project.
