WorldFish is supporting the sustainable growth of this important aquatic food system to provide a source of nutritious, safe food for a growing population, providing important nutritional and health benefits to both women of reproductive age and young children. In partnership with NGOs and private sector actors, this project is providing science-based solutions to farmers, service providers, and market traders, increasing productivity and income throughout the system. The project is particularly important from a nutrition-sensitive perspective, as increasing women's empowerment through the production of fish, a highly nutritious animal-source food, is a key pathway through which the nutrition of women, as well as their family members, can be improved.
