However, there remains a considerable lack of clarity about what this means, specifically in terms of how programs can be gender-responsive. This study contributes to addressing that need. It does so through sharing higher-level insights emerging from the combined experiences of eight gendered trait preference cases from across nine countries in Asia and Africa. The cases spanned crops, fish and livestock. This study inquires into the nature of gendered trait preference information that can be generated, if there are systematic gendered preference differences and how to understand these, and implications for breeding programs seeking to be more gender-responsive. Key findings include that while not all data are immediately usable by programs, the information that is generated through mixed method, intersectional gender preference assessments usefully deepens and widens programs’ knowledge. The study evidences differences in trait preferences between women and men. It also reveals that these differences are more complex than previously thought. In doing so, it challenges binary or homogenous models of preferences, suggesting instead that preferences are likely to be overlapping and nuanced. The study applies a novel ‘Three models of gendered trait preferences’ framework and sub-framework and finds these useful in that they challenge misconceptions and enable a needed analytical nuance to inform gender-responsive breeding programs. Finally, the study highlights implications and offers a call to action for gender-responsive breeding, proposing ways forward for public breeding programs, teams and funding agencies. These include investments in interdisciplinary capabilities and considerations for navigating trade-offs while orienting to sustainable development goals.Item Annual report 2021: CGIAR Research Program on Fish(Annual Report, 2022-06) CGIAR Research Program on FishItem How to enhance the sustainability and inclusiveness of smallholder aquaculture production systems in Zambia?(Journal Article, 2022-01) Avadí, A.; Cole, Steven M.; Kruijssen, Froukje; Dabat, M.; Mungule, C.Fish is a key source of income, food, and nutrition in Zambia, although unlike in the past, capture fisheries no longer meet the national demand for fish. Supply shortfalls created an opportunity to develop the aquaculture sector in Zambia, which is now one of the largest producers of farmed fish (Tilapia spp.) on the continent. In its present form, the aquaculture sector exhibits a dichotomy. It comprises, on the one hand, a smallholder sector that mainly produces for and supplies within local markets, and on the other hand, a burgeoning larger-scale commercial sector consisting of a small number of pioneering lead firms who are (re)shaping how the value chain supplies domestic, mainly urban, markets. A notable challenge confronting the development of the aquaculture value chain in Zambia is ensuring that the larger-scale commercial sector can continue to grow and generate economic benefits for the country, while simultaneously safeguarding inclusive and sustainable growth of smallholder production systems. An in-depth, mixed-methods aquaculture value chain study was carried out in Zambia in 2017 that aimed at providing relevant stakeholders with pertinent information on the value chain's contribution to economic growth and its inclusiveness, as well as its social and environmental sustainability aspects. In this article, we present some key findings from the study to shed light on how the sustainability of smallholder production systems could be enhanced while preserving the growth trend of larger producers in an inclusive way. The study found that the value chain is contributing positively towards economic growth in the country. Smallholder farmers classified as “semi-subsistence” and “commercial” face several albeit somewhat different constraints to production, thus influencing their “sustainability” status. Semi-subsistence smallholders achieve positive (yet negligible) profit margins, and their production system is not environmentally sustainable and the value chain that supports them performs sub-optimally on several social markers. The “commercial” smallholder system is more economically viable and environmentally sustainable. The study juxtaposes these findings with those from the analysis of larger pond and cage-based systems to point to a set of key options Government, research, and development organisations could consider to support smallholder farmers and enhance the sustainability of the semi-subsistence smallholder production system in particular, without overlooking the whole system.Item Fish and livestock-based research programs(Presentation, 2021-12-10) Unger, FredItem TU1.4: COVID-19 Experiences of Women Fish Processors and Traders in Africa: Insights from transdisciplinary research(Video, 2021-10) McDougall, Cynthia; Lukanga, Editrudith; Mkumbo, Anna; Taylor, Eastina; Drew, Libby; Atkins, Molly; Cohen, Philippa J.Item FR1.1: Advancing gender equality in coral reefs socio-ecological systems(Presentation, 2021-10) Ruano-Chamorro, Christina; Lau, Jacqueline; Deering, KarlItem The pandemic and women in agribusiness in Myanmar and Vietnam: Insights from in-depth-interviews with small- and medium-scale entrepreneurs(Presentation, 2021-09-28) Kawarazuka, Nozomi; Achandi, Esther L.; Hakhu, A.; Joshi, D.; McDougall, C.; Loan Pham; Rajaratnam, S.Item Development of small-scale fisheries and aquaculture ontology(Thesis, 2021-05) Tusnuva, JahanThis Master thesis concludes a period of 6 months of internship in the framework of the Master2 EURAMA at INP Purpan School, Toulouse, for the project the “Development of small-scale fisheries and Aquaculture ontology” of the Alliance Bioversity-CIAT and WorldFish. WorldFish proposed to start an ontology for two domains: Small-scale Fisheries and Aquaculture. The objective of the ontology project is to improve the WorldFish data interoperability into the various projects, databases and repositories by (a) addressing inconsistent use of fish, fisheries, and aquaculture related terms across the datasets, (b) highlighting the missing terms in the main semantic resources, and lastly (c) connect and collaborate with the Community of Practice. The thesis describes the steps taken to a) extract the concepts used in WorldFish reporitoy and in papers published by scientists, b) identify the corresponding terms in the FAO thesaurs AGROVOC and get the termIDs, c) allocate valid defintions, d) develop the knowledge model and the ontology using Protégé.Item Spatial and temporal patterns of consumption of animal-source foods in Tanzania(Journal Article, 2022-04) Ping Wang; Nhuong Tran; Enahoro, Dolapo K.; Chin Yee Chan; Shikuku, Kelvin Mashisia; Rich, Karl M.; Byrd, K.; Thilsted, Shakuntala H.Animal‐source foods (ASF) are an important source of nutrients in many developing countries. However, there is limited information on the demand for ASF and the factors influencing their consumption. This study assessed spatial and temporal patterns of ASF consumption in Tanzania using data from a nationally representative household survey. Price and expenditure elasticities of ASF demand were estimated by applying a censored Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand System (QUAIDS) model. Results showed a 30% increase in weekly household expenditure on ASF from USD 3.02 in 2008 to USD 3.94 in 2014. The likelihood of a household purchasing ASF was 4.5 percentage points higher in urban compared to rural areas. With the exception of dried fish, the expenditure elasticity of ASF demand was positive and statistically significant. Expenditure and own‐price elasticities were largest for chicken and lowest for dried fish. The responsiveness of ASF demand to own‐price changes was higher in rural than urban areas in all cases. The findings imply that public policies that either raise household incomes or lower ASF prices have the potential to increase the consumption of ASF and consequently improve food and nutrition security in Tanzania.

Yila, Jummai Othniel; Yitayih, Mulugeta; Zhong, S.This 26th dossier d’Agropolis is devoted to research and partnerships in agroecology. The French Commission for International Agricultural Research (CRAI) and Agropolis International, on behalf of CIRAD, INRAE and IRD and in partnership with CGIAR, has produced this new issue in the ‘Les dossiers d’Agropolis international’ series devoted to agroecology. This publication has been produced within the framework of the Action Plan signed by CGIAR and the French government on February 4th 2021 to strengthen French collaboration with CGIAR, where agroecology is highlighted as one of the three key priorities (alongside climate change, nutrition and food systems).Item Annual report 2020: CGIAR Research Program on Fish(Annual Report, 2021-08) CGIAR Research Program on FishItem Fish for whom?: Integrating the management of social complexities into technical investments for inclusive, multi-functional irrigation(Journal Article, 2021-06) Duncan, N.; Silva, Sanjiv de; Conallin, J.; Freed, S.; Akester, M.; Baumgartner, L.; McCartney, Matthew P.; Dubois, Mark J.; Senaratna Sellamuttu, SonaliIrrigation represents a long-standing water sector investment in South East Asia. However, despite the undeniable benefits of food production, an irrigation/rice-centric strategy is insufficient in a multi-dimensional conceptualisation of development. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) challenge us to re-think traditional ways of achieving food security. Central to this challenge is how we can retain multi-functionality within landscapes. We explore the often negatively correlated relationship between irrigation and inland fisheries through a literature review and interviews with key informants, focusing on examples from Myanmar and Cambodia. We found that whilst technical options exist for minimizing irrigation impacts on fisheries, there is a fundamental disconnect between the technical application of such ‘solutions’, and distribution of benefits to the marginal groups that SDGs 1, 2, 3 and more target. We found that insufficient recognition of the social contexts in which solutions are applied underpins this disconnect. This means that technical infrastructure design needs to be organised around the question, ‘Who do we want to benefit?’, if investments are to go beyond rice/fish production and deliver more on socially inclusive food security and livelihood opportunities. This paper is a call to extend the framing and financing of irrigation investments beyond technical parameters to include investing in the social processes that enable both multi-functionality and inclusive growth, to enhance the role of irrigation in adapting to a changing climate, while maintaining landscape integrity and multi-functionality so necessary for a sustainable future.Item Strengthening the resilience of vulnerable communities: Results from a quasi‑experimental impact evaluation in coastal Bangladesh(Journal Article, 2022-04) Béné, Christophe; Haque, Mahfuzul A.B.M.At present, no clear consensus exists on how to assess resilience interventions in the field. In this paper we propose to measure the impact of the ECOFISH project, the objective of which was to strengthen the resilience of local fishing communities affected by recurrent crises in Bangladesh. The evaluation was based on a difference-in-difference (DiD) framework. The DiD analysis indicates that households who benefited from ECOFISH have a higher propensity to adopt positive responses than non-beneficiaries when hit by a shock. Those beneficiaries also report a statistically higher recovery rate (resilience). The analysis indicates however that the project did not manage to reduce the propensity of households to engage in detrimental coping strategies and that the long-term food and nutritional security of the beneficiaries has not yet visibly improved compared to the control group. Those different results are discussed in the light of the wider literature on resilience evaluation.Item CGIAR Research Program on Fish - Plan of Work and Budget 2021(Internal Document, 2021-04-07) CGIAR Research Program on FishThis Plan of Work and Budget 2021 was prepared by WorldFish in collaboration with FISH managing partners: International Water Management Institute, James Cook University, Natural Resources Institute of the University of Greenwich and Wageningen University and ResearchItem CRP 2020 Reviews: FISH(Evaluation Report, 2020-11) Dunham, Rex; Rinck, DavidIn 2020 the CGIAR CAS Secretariat is conducting independent reviews of the 12 CGIAR Research Programs (CRPs), including this one of FISH. The reviews will provide information on quality of science and effectiveness in each CRP. This review covers the Phase II years of 2017 through 2019, with a view to identifying lessons for future research modalities.Item Increasing the benefits and sustainability of irrigation through the integration of fisheries: a guide for water planners, managers and engineers(Report, 2020) Nguyen-Khoa, S.; McCartney, Matthew P.; Funge-Smith, S.; Smith, L.; Senaratna Sellamuttu, Sonali; Dubois, Mark J.There is increasing recognition of the need to bring about changes across the full spectrum of agricultural practices to ensure that, in future, food production systems are more diverse, sustainable and resilient. In this context, the objectives of irrigation need to be much more ambitious, shifting away from simply maximizing crop yields to maximizing net benefits across a range of uses of irrigation water, including ecosystems and nature-based solutions. One important way to achieve this is by better integrating fisheries into the planning, design, construction, operation and management of irrigation systems. Irrigation – a major contributor to the Green Revolution – has significantly improved agricultural production worldwide, with consequent benefits for food security, livelihoods and poverty alleviation. Today, irrigated agriculture represents about 21 percent of cultivated land, but contributes approximately 40% of the total global crop production. Many governments continue to invest in irrigation as a cornerstone of food security and rural development. Investments in irrigation often represent a pragmatic form of adaptation to changing climatic conditions. This guide focuses on how to sustainably optimize and broaden the range of benefits from irrigation development - not only economic but also social and environmental benefits. It emphasizes the opportunities that fisheries could provide to increase food production and economic returns, enhance livelihoods and public health outcomes, and maintain key ecosystem services. The guide considers possible trade-offs between irrigation and fisheries, and provides recommendations on how these could be minimized.
