In a study published in Nature Food, WorldFish scientists reveal that Integrated Aquaculture-Agriculture (IAA) in Bangladesh shows significant improvements in both nutrient and economic productivity. The study shows that specific combinations of fish and crops can enhance the production of vital micronutrients like iron, zinc, and vitamin A. It also highlights the economic benefits of IAA, showing this method can increase income for farmers.
