Item Business Accelerators for Climate Change Adaptation in East and Southern Africa: The value of tailor-made and co-designed approaches for Food Systems Transformation(Brief, 2024-10-07) Lozano, Denise; Dam Lam, Rodolfo; Zulu, Mercy; Rossignoli, CristianoBusiness accelerators play a central role in the dissemination and scaling of innovations across food systems, brought about by high performing small and medium enterprises. This role is even more critical in nascent entrepreneurial ecosystems and value chains.Item Agricultural production and nutrition implications in Cambodia(Report, 2024-10-31) Phearun, HengAgriculture is a key sector in Cambodia, accounting for 22% of GDP in 2022, with 57% of households engaged in agricultural production. The vast majority of these households (94%) are involved in crop cultivation, primarily non-aromatic paddy rice, followed by mango and banana crops. Livestock and poultry farming are also significant, with 82% of farmers participating. However, aquaculture is practiced by only 6% of agricultural households. The sector remains vital for food security, despite its declining share in GDP because of structural changes in the economy. This study focuses on five provinces, examining household agricultural activities, including crop cultivation, livestock management, and aquaculture, based on a survey conducted in mid-2023. The objective is to comprehensively assess the productivity of agricultural households in Cambodia and to evaluate the nutrient content produced by their agricultural outputs.Item Fish-based products in diverse aquatic systems: Innovating with product development to tackle malnutrition and improve livelihoods(Brief, 2024-10-22) Bonis-Profumo, Gianna; Hunnam, Kimberly; Wate, Jillian Tutuo; Batalofo, Margaret; Duarte, Agustinha; Ou, Phichong; Rizaldo, Quennie; Khan, A K M Firoz; Ratha, Baishnaba; Shenoy, Neetha; Mudege, Netsayi; Gichohi, Wanjiku; Eriksson, HampusThis brief summarizes WorldFish’s work on fish-based products in seven countries across three continents over the past 10 years. It is based on an e-learning event that brought country teams together to document approaches, lessons and research priorities. Fish-based products are a cornerstone of WorldFish’s work. Piloting and/or scaling products such as dried fish and fish powder have been a core component of its aquatic food system research for development and nutrition-sensitive programs, providing a link between production systems and consumer well-being.Item Overview of COMFA+FISH instant porridge macronutrients(Brief, 2024-10-07) Tolar-Peterson, Terezie; Ragsdale, Kathleen; Mudege, Netsayi; Banda, Sylvia; Muzungaire, Lizzy; Burdine, Madeline; Roman, Katie; Bowen, JadynThese results included a nutrient analysis of locally sourced Kapenta DFP, two sensory panels of dishes fortified with a DFP-based protein/micronutrient blend we call Complementary Food for Africa+Dried Fish Powder (ComFA+Fish), collaboration with our private sector partner in Zambia, Sylva Food Solutions, to produce ComFA+Fish Plain and Vanilla Instant Porridges, and a third sensory panel to test the acceptability of the porridges among adults prior to testing their acceptability among IYC in 2024.Item Transformation of the feed supply segment of the aquaculture value chain in Bangladesh(Presentation, 2024-07-07) Ali, Hazrat; Belton, Ben; Haque, Md. Mahfuzul; Khondker, Murshed-E-JahanAquaculture is a highly dynamic and rapidly growing sub-sector in the global food system, including Bangladesh. Bangladesh is the fifth largest aquaculture producing country in the world (FAO, 2022) and production has increased 20 times over the past 3 decades (DoF, 2022). The aquaculture sector has experienced significant growth, diversification, and technological innovations, indicating a noticeable shift toward more intensive cultivation techniques. This evolution has resulted in higher demand of fish feeds which increased the number of traders for distribution of these feeds (Hernandez et al., 2018). However, yet very little is known about the characteristics of the dynamic and rapidly growing aquatic food value chain in Bangladesh. These gaps make it difficult to plan and manage aquaculture development or design appropriate investments, policies and effective interventions. Considering all these aspects collectively, comprehensive stacked survey-based research was conducted in fish feed supply segment considering the dynamic of transformation structure, conduct and performance.Item Transformation of the farming segment Of the aquaculture value chain in Bangladesh(Presentation, 2024-07-06) Ali, Hazrat; Belton, Ben; Haque, Md.

In doing so, they combine national goals of food security, economic prosperity and sustainable aquaculture practices. The manual provides crucial guidelines and protocols for ensuring the health and biosecurity of tilapia hatchery operations. We hope it will prove instrumental in guiding fish farmers across Nigeria to protect their stocks from diseases. This, in turn, will enhance yields and ensure the long-term success of their aquaculture endeavors.Item Smallholder tilapia farming in Nigeria: Guidelines for best biosecurity practices(Manual, 2024-05-03) Mohamed Din, Mohamed Shariff; Subasinghe, RohanaThis comprehensive tilapia biosecurity manual is an integral component of this initiative. The manual provides crucial guidelines and protocols for ensuring the health and biosecurity of smallholder operations that farm tilapia. . This we hope it will prove instrumental in guiding fish farmers across Nigeria to protect their stocks from diseases. This, in turn, will enhance yields and ensure the long-term success of their aquaculture endeavors.Item Community Fish Refuge Profile for Sustainable Aquaculture and Community Fish Refuge- CFR component(Brochure) Sean, Vichet; Ou, Phichong; Sun, Vathanak; chankrisna, chhievCFR profile combines the results of results at ground from 21 CFRs which are supported through the SAFR-CFR project.Item Sustainable aquaculture and community fish refuge management (khmer)(Poster, 2024-03-18) Sean, Vichet; Ou, Phichong; Sun, VathanakThe Sustainable Aquaculture and Community Fish Refuge (SAFR) project, which falls under the BMZ Special Initiative “Transformation of Agricultural and Food Systems,” aims to reduce poverty and hunger. Under the BMZ initiative, the Global Programme Sustainable Fisheries and Aquaculture was launched to improve the availability of fish products for food insecure people and increase employment and incomes. Thanks to contributions from the SAFR, the Cambodia Fisheries Administration was able to meet its goal of establishing 1200 community fish refuges (CFRs) to increase fish production, create jobs and generate income from environmentally friendly rice fields for food insecure people. To achieve this, WorldFish implemented the project CFR component (SAFR-CFR) to establish and improve the 21 CFRs in Kampong Thom. The project lasted from December 2020 to March 2024.Item Sustainable aquaculture and community fish refuge management(Poster, 2024-03-18) Sean, Vichet; Ou, Phichong; Sun, VathanakThe Sustainable Aquaculture and Community Fish Refuge (SAFR) project, which falls under the BMZ Special Initiative “Transformation of Agricultural and Food Systems,” aims to reduce poverty and hunger.
