🌱 A productive fish farm starts with a well-prepared pond. Pond design and construction can influence water management, fish health and overall farm productivity. Episode 2 of WorldFish’s Best Management Practices for Fish Farming series takes farmers through practical considerations for pond construction as part of the Climate-Resilient Aquaculture Systems for Africa (CASA) project. ▶️ Watch Episode 2 and explore the full series: on.cgiar.org/4cVXarb #AquacultureTraining #FishFarming #PondManagement #SustainableAquaculture #ClimateResilientAquaculture #WorldFish

🌾 Building climate-resilient and nature-positive farming systems in the Mekong and 3S landscapes Ricefield pond systems can support more resilient and sustainable farming. A new WorldFish training report explores integrated rice field pond systems across the Mekong and 3S landscapes, highlighting approaches to building climate-resilient and nature-positive farming systems. By bringing together rice and fish production, integrated systems offer opportunities to strengthen food production while supporting more sustainable use of natural resources. 📖 Read the training report: on.cgiar.org/4ApQ2NE #WorldFish #Aquaculture #RiceFishSystems #ClimateResilience #SustainableAgriculture

🌿 This month, farmers and local stakeholders reviewed and validated community-adapted farm management guidelines and inclusive business models for Integrated Mangrove Aquaculture, exploring practical farm management, investment needs and the role of mangrove carbon for future financing. #WorldFish #ClimateAction #MangroveAquaculture #ClimateResilience #Sundarbans
