Improving livelihoods from productive aquatic farming systems and sustainable fisheries The Fisheries Program brokers research partnerships to improve food security and fishers’ livelihoods through productive aquatic farming systems and sustainable wild-catch fisheries. It aims to improve human health and wellbeing by making food systems and policies more nutrition-sensitive.
Unlocking economic opportunities for farmers The Agribusiness Program focuses on research and adoption of innovations to improve business outcomes for smallholder farmers, their communities and their industries at all points along the agricultural, forestry and fisheries value chain. This includes input supply, production and harvest at the farm level, as well as post-harvest activities such as shipping, processing, packaging and marketing of farm products.
Local farmers in the Pacific are beginning to enjoy increased economic benefits, thanks to research aimed at better understanding agribusiness development in the region.
This project aims to identify and review options, opportunities and risks for brackish aquaculture in the southern Indus Basin, as a potentially transformative adaptation strategy for areas affected by salinity. Salinity problems in Pakistan’s agriculture have been apparent since 1892, and much work has been done over the years, largely adopting engineering approaches to the problem.
