Blue Revolution in Bangladesh (Global Times)

Global Times (China) published an article on aquaculture (fish value chain) in Bangladesh. 20 million people having been lifted out of poverty during 2000-2010,  aquaculture alone accounted for an estimated 2.0 million. Shahidur Rashid, IFPRI Director for South Asia and co-author of the IFPRI book, The Making of a Blue Revolution in Bangladesh: Enablers, Impacts, and the Path Ahead for Aquacultures stated, “Contrary to assumptions that nutrient-rich foods will remain out of reach for the poor, the story of fish aquaculture in Bangladesh shows how nutrient-rich food can become more widely available for all.” Republished in the Financial Express (India).
