Profitable smallholder aquaculture and agroforestry systems

Smallholder aquaculture

• Review of policy options to guide expansion and intensification of aquaculture, including development and application of decision-support tools and planning frameworks to assist farmers, planners and policymakers, particularly at local levels Delivery of more reliable diagnostic services to farmers for viral disease of shrimp through improved application of PCR technology

Agroforestry systems

• Understanding of incentives for small-scale community plantings, including: - policies and institutions (regulations, land tenure, models for conflict resolution, effective size of management units) for profitable agroforestry and community forestry - analysis of systems and markets that produce intermediate returns - models for outgrower schemes to secure market access for smallholders
• Matching of community forestry sites to species in variable environments, including: - site classification, and selection of species combinations and improved planting materials, taking markets and cultural preferences into account - selection of silvicultural systems adapted for small-scale plantings, including agro-silvopastoral systems - development of replicable extension models for small-scale plantations
