PROJECT DESCRIPTION (DE)
Initial situation
Billions of people around the world depend on fish, crabs, mussels, algae and other foods from rivers, ponds and oceans for their daily diet. These aquatic foods provide animal protein, important nutrients such as fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. As Africa's population grows, demand for these foods is increasing, but stagnating capture fisheries and poorly developed local aquaculture cannot meet demand. The consequences are reduced fish consumption and increasing undernutrition and malnutrition.
Objective
Aquaculture and fisheries that produce food within planetary boundaries contribute to a positive change in agricultural and food systems.
Approach
In Madagascar, Malawi, Uganda and Zambia, the project is training 17,000 farmers in technical and business management so that they can expand their aquaculture in an environmentally friendly way. The project combines agroecological approaches, an economic perspective and the exchange of knowledge between producers. This enables aquaculture that is optimally adapted to the local context and the financial means of small businesses. The project does not work with subsidies, so that the companies can produce aquatic food independently in the long term and economically.
Together with the Southern African Development Community (SADC), the project is working to enable artisanal fishermen to participate in political dialogue. Their voice should be heard by decision-makers and contribute to fairer fi
