AFSPAN: Aquaculture for Food Security, Poverty Alleviation and Nutrition
|
Data collection for the AFSPAN Project has commenced, with field surveys underway in eleven countries spanning Asia, Africa and South America. The project will survey around 120 farms and 120 households in each country, working throughout Bangladesh, China, India, the Philipppines, Viet Nam, Kenya, Uganda, Zambia, Brazil, Chile and Nicaragua.
The surveys are collecting data concerning farming practices and the importance of aquaculture to household employment and nutrition. The farm surveys are examining production issues including labour and time usage patterns, major costs and income generated on farms across a variety of scales.
AFSPAN is an international initiative funded by the European Commission to better understand the contribution of aquaculture to food and nutrition security and poverty alleviation.
