The Sustainable Transformation of Egypt's Aquaculture Market System The Sustainable Transformation of Egypt's Aquaculture Market System (STREAMS) project aims to increase production of inexpensive, nutritious and safe fish from sustainable aquaculture systems to help improve the health and nutrition of Egypt's resource-poor while creating employment and increasing incomes along the aquaculture value chain. Projected outcomes include 1) adoption by 4000 fish farms in existing aquaculture zones of sustainable, productive and efficient production practices with reduced ecological footprints; 2) adoption of equitable, productive aquaculture production systems for the resource-poor and vulnerable; 3) adoption of more efficient and safer aquaculture market practices by wholesalers and retailers, resulting in greater benefits for market actors and consumers. STREAMS will assist 44,750 direct beneficiaries and 3.9 million indirect beneficiaries.
