The Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia-Pacific (NACA) is organizing a free webinar on Culture-based fisheries for rural development on May 31, 2021 11:00 AM in Bangkok.
Culture-based fisheries (CBF) are practices to enhance fish stocks in waters that don’t have enough natural recruitment to sustain a fishery. CBF practices are usually applied in small water bodies such as village dams and irrigation reservoirs. Fish growth is driven by the natural productivity of the waters, with fish left to forage on natural food supplies.
Food security remains a serious problem in many developing countries. CBF practices can help farmers to improve their food production and income by harnessing the natural productivity of rural ecosystems. The simplicity and low capital requirements of CBF make it easy for farming communities to learn and adopt.
This webinar will bring together leading experts from Asia to discuss the state of CBF in the region, and its application to rural development.
