Training Report.https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12348/6816This training program is designed to strengthen the knowledge and skills of farmers and key stakeholders on rice–prawn and homestead pond aquaculture. It is organized under the Scaling for Impact (S4I) and Multifunctional Landscape (MFL) Programs, in coordination with other One CGIAR Initiatives. Farmers and value-chain actors engaged in intensive monoculture rice production are increasingly seeking diversified options to enhance resilience and productivity. Integrating non-rice crops and aquaculture into existing rice-based systems offers promising opportunities to address the challenges posed by climate change. Through this training, participants will examine successful practices, identify constraints, and reflect on what has or has not worked in their own production systems. Farmers participating in demonstrations of these technologies will receive support to strengthen their linkages with fisheries and aquaculture-related stakeholders across the value chain. This will help improve both production and market connectivity. These training activities contribute to Area of Work 2 of the S4I program, and the Area of Work 1 of MFL is supported by the CGIAR Science Program as part of broader efforts to scale climate-resilient, sustainable farming innovations.PDFCC-BY-4.0homestead pondsReport
