Low and variable yields of wheat in the rice--wheat cropping systems of lower Indo-Gangetic Plains (IGP) of South Asia, covering Bihar and Eastern Uttar Pradesh (EUP) in India and the Terai region of Nepal, are a matter of significant concern for
The persistent and worsening effects of the COVID-19 crisis on rural household incomes are alarming. The onset of the second wave of infections and mitigation measures in Myanmar is continuing to depress household incomes.
Safeguarding the environment and its citizens’ health remains one of the key policy priorities of the governments of many developing and emerging countries.
This report examines six agricultural production and processing opportunities for rural areas: horticulture irrigation, grain milling, injera baking, milk cooling, bread baking, and coffee washing.
Food crises and distress migration will continue to plague the African continent in the decades ahead unless massive investments are made to make the region’s agriculture and food systems more resilient.
Cluster-based aquaculture growth
As shown in Chapter 3, fish production appears to be largely clustered and the number of fish farmers, feed traders, and fish traders have all experienced rapid growth since 2008, roughly in the same magnitude.
Value chain transformation
The majority of literature on aquaculture in Bangladesh focuses on “microsocioeconomics” and “value chains” (VCs) and tends to have a static perspective.
Summary and implications
Led by aquaculture, the fishery sector in Bangladesh has been remarkably successful in rapidly increasing production, reducing prices, and meeting rising domestic demand.
A rapid increase in aquaculture production in Bangladesh has lowered fish prices, increased protein consumption, and reduced poverty.
Sector overview and study design
The fisheries sector in Bangladesh is important in terms of both economic and food security perspectives.
Future scenarios (projections to 2050)
The Bangladesh fish sector has experienced both rapid growth and rapid change over the past several decades. With plentiful waterways, access to the sea, and a subtropical climate, prospects for future production growth are equally bright.
Aquaculture is one of the world’s fastest growing food-producing sectors, and its share in global fish consumption by humans is projected to grow to more than 60 percent by 2030 (FAO 2014).
In the last half of the 20th century, food policy in most Asian countries meant ensuring availability of cereals, mainly rice and wheat.1 The rationale for this cereal-centric policy is well understood.
The making of a blue revolution in Bangladesh: Enablers, impacts, and the path ahead for aquaculture
A rapid increase in aquaculture production in Bangladesh has lowered fish prices, increased protein consumption, and reduced poverty.
América Latina y el Caribe en la economía verde y azul
Los conceptos de economía verde y azul pueden tener diferentes interpretaciones.
Water and nutrition are linked in multiple ways, but few of these interlinkages are well understood. What is, for example, the exact relationship between water pollution and health or between water resource management and nutrition?
