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-Jahan
Aquaculture 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.

Integrating gender and social inclusion into behavior change frameworks in agri-food systems: The case of agroecological transformation
(Presentation, 2023-10-11) Voss, Rachel C.; Freed, Sarah; Rietveld, Anne M.; Falk, Thomas; Adam, Rahma
A systems perspective is crucial to understanding behavior-change processes in the agro-ecological transformation of agri-food systems. Systemslevel behavioral frameworks in agricultural systems commonly acknowledge the role of individual demographics, economic and governance factors, and social networks in shaping farmers’, fishers’ and pastoralists’ decisions. However, behaviorchange frameworks rarely account for wider social and relational structures that govern individual and collective behaviors, and are thus relatively gender blind. Social and relational factors are especially relevant to understanding behavior change among women and marginalized groups, whose opportunities and decisions are often constrained by norms and power inequities. We offer a novel conceptual framework for analyzing behavior change in agri-food systems by integrating multidisciplinary behavioral concepts into Ostrom’s social-ecological systems framework. Critical is the notion of ‘opportunity space’, which is here influenced by resource access, social relations, behavioral norms, power and agency. Drawing from experiences in countries engaged in the CGIAR Initiative on Agroecology, we present a case study to illustrate how the framework can be used to more systematically integrate gender relations and equity concerns into behavioral analysis in the context of agri-food systems transformation.

Introduction to Economics
(Presentation, 2022-06-01) Rossignoli, Cristiano
Economics is a science, and just like other sciences, it deals with a fundamental problem of nature. Economics is the branch of knowledge concerned with the production, consumption and transfer of wealth. It is the study of how scarce resources are allocated to fulfill the infinite wants of consumers.

Climate change, gender and aquatic food systems: call for action to address gender and social inequalities matters in the nexus
(Presentation, 2022-04-14) Adam, Rahma; Amani, Anamika; Kuijpers, Rob; Smits, Esther; Kruijssen, Froukje
The uneven distribution of the adverse impacts of climate change on aquatic food systems is not only being felt between countries, but also within them. Particularly hard-hit are people who already experience intersecting power inequalities due to gender, socioeconomic class, age, location, ethnicity, ability, religion and caste. Among poor and marginalized groups, women are especially vulnerable to climate change due to their over-dependence on natural resources. They have limited coping and adaptive capacity owing to their multiple, competing responsibilities, further exacerbated by power inequalities. Therefore, research on the resilience of aquatic food systems to climate change must take gender and intersectional dimensions into account. Quantitative and qualitative research must transcend the household level and gender-binary (men-women) focus to explore adaptation strategies of actors in small-scale fisheries and aquaculture chains. In addition, to address entrenched power inequalities at formal, informal, local and systemic levels, it is imperative that there be more collaboration across research, interventions and policies on climate adaptation and mitigation, and on aquatic food systems. A collaborative agenda premised on the diversity inherent in small-scale fisheries and aquaculture has the potential to build resilient, equitable, efficient and effective aquatic food systems.
Small-Scale Fisheries and Aquaculture Ontology (SSFO): Labeling fish science data
(Presentation, 2022-09-05) Arnaud, Elizabeth; Laporte, Marie-Angélique; Delamare-Deboutteville, Jerome; Tilley, Alexander
Heterogeneous and multidisciplinary data are generated by research on sustainable global agriculture and agri-food systems. This data is analysed and often integrated into predictive models for climate change or decision-making tools for fisheries management and aquaculture production. WorldFish (CGIAR) research aims to improve the sustainability, productivity and resilience of aquatic food systems. Harmonising the labelling of aquatic foods data with controlled vocabularies will enable easier data aggregation, interpretation, and analysis. The Fisheries and Aquaculture Ontology Working Group was formed in 2019 to compile, update and contribute fishery related terms to existing controlled vocabularies. The objective is to improve the WorldFish data interoperability into the various projects, databases and repositories by (a) addressing inconsistent use of fisheries and aquaculture related terms across the datasets, (b) highlighting the missing terms in the main semantic resources, and (c) connecting and collaborating with the CGIAR Community of Practice for Ontology.  An ontology is a standardised representation of the definitions and relationships of data from a specific discipline. Ontologies provide a common language for different kinds of data to be easily interpretable and interoperable allowing easier aggregation and analysis.
