Food security has three dimensions - availability, accessibility, and affordability of food. Food insecurity most affects the poor, landless, artisans, petty workers, and ill-paid urban occupations. Food security is ensured when enough food is available and accessible to all at an affordable price. Natural calamities and crop failures can threaten food security by reducing production and increasing prices, potentially leading to starvation and famine over the long term. India aims to ensure food security through self-sufficiency, public distribution systems, and welfare programs.

This document evaluates methods for detecting aquaculture waterbodies in southern Bangladesh using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and multispectral data. It finds that ensembles of SAR and multispectral data improved water detection rates over individual methods. Shape indices and SAR backscatter data helped differentiate waterbodies. However, the study was limited by 10m spatial resolution and vegetation interference, which affected segmentation of small or irregular waterbodies. Overall, the best methods achieved water detection rates up to 87% in districts, though prediction performance was lower due to segmentation limitations.

- In 2014, a stacked value chain survey covered 20 districts and interviewed over 3,000 actors including 1,540 farmers, hatcheries, traders, and input providers using purposive stratified random sampling.
- In 2020, the survey focused on 7 districts in South and Southwestern Bangladesh, updating the 2014 panel and randomly selecting replacements. It developed censuses and randomly surveyed over 1,000 individuals across farm households, traders, and input traders.
This document summarizes the results of a survey of 721 aquatic farms in Bangladesh. It finds that farms produce a diverse mix of fish, shrimp, and prawn, with fish being the dominant crop. Integrated crop and aquatic farming is also common. The survey found high levels of disease, especially impacting shrimp farms. It also found that farms were highly exposed to extreme weather like flooding. COVID-19 negatively impacted production, though fish farms were less affected. Overall, the systems were found to be profitable and resilient despite challenges due to their diverse and adaptable nature.
The document summarizes results from a combined survey and remote sensing study of aquaculture farms in seven districts in Bangladesh. It finds that:
1) Machine learning estimates of total farm area were similar to government statistics, and calculated average production values, incomes, feed use, and jobs per hectare to estimate totals for the districts.
2) The study estimated a total value of aquaculture production of $1.45 billion USD and farm profits of $670 million USD across the seven districts.
3) The results reveal the potential of combining remote sensing, machine learning, and representative surveys to estimate a wide range of sector statistics, though some estimates differed from government reports.
This document provides an overview of the "Harnessing Machine Learning to Estimate Aquaculture Production and Value Chain Performance in Bangladesh" project. The project was funded by USAID Innovation Lab for Fish and implemented from April 2020 to September 2022 by Michigan State University, BAU, WorldFish, and CIAT. The project aimed to survey aquaculture farmers, fish traders, and suppliers; use machine learning on remote sensing images combined with survey data to estimate economic impacts; and build capacity through extension videos. Key components included surveying 1100 participants, using machine learning to analyze remote sensing data, and disseminating short extension videos on social media.

I will present a case study on Aquaculture - Nutrition Linkages from a USAID Feed the Future funded project, FtF Aqua in Bangladesh.
FtF Aqua has four components, and one is specifically on Aquaculture/agriculture in small, household ponds for income and nutrition. FtF aqua promotes increased production of:- Household pond polyculture of large and small fish- Promotion of nutrient-rich vegetables grown in homestead gardens and on pond dykes (including orange-fleshed sweet potatos) Increased production are promoted through training on optimized production methods, and some The production technology which we are promoting is carps with micronutrient-rich small fish. Small fish, for example mola, breed in ponds, are harvested partially, frequently in small amounts and used for household consumption. Unfortunately, due to many factors, the consumption of fish, and in particular, small fish by the poor has decreased. This production technology aims to increase fish consumption and nutrient contribution from fish. At the same time, there is an economic gain – sale of carps for household income.
Let me give the example of promotion of OFSPOFSP integrates well in aquatic agricultural systems can be planted in small areas such as pond dykes and homestead gardensIt requires minimal labour, fertilizer and pesticides; and grows well in marginal soils. It is therefore a valuable food source during times of food scarcity or following natural disasters.Vines are easily preserved by households for planting in the subsequent season.Both roots and leaves are consumed Let me give the example of promotion of OFSPOFSP integrates well in aquatic agricultural systems can be planted in small areas such as pond dykes and homestead gardensIt requires minimal labour, fertilizer and pesticides; and grows well in marginal soils.

Building on this wealth of expertise and analyses, together with our partners, we have developed the following Aquaculture-Nutrition linkages package in FtF Aqua:In addition to:- Household pond aquaculture (with micronutrient-rich small fish species inclusion of:- Homestead vegetable production in the homestead and on pond dykes, with focus on orange fleshed sweet potato - Promotion of increased consumption of micronutrient-rich fish, vegetables and fruits, especially in the first 1,000 days of life and in adolescent girls- Behaviour change communication for improving knowledge and practice of essential nutrition and essential hygiene actions- Gender norms, attitudes and practices in relation to food purchase, food preparation and processing, intra-household food distribution, work load – production and care, )- Monitoring and evaluation – process and impacts on production, productivity, consumption, nutrition and health
How do we progress:Again we start with fish production – so we must find ways to get our staff to interest themselves and be committed to other areas – vegetable production, consumption, partnership to for better essential and hygiene actions. Scaling up – we wish to reach 200,000 households – what is our approach – not just to reach these households once – but having a sustained approach – not just the life of the FtF Aqua. Monitoring and Impact: Process and improved nutrition and healthIn the first instance, I will be happy to be able to show that the process works – beginning with an aquaculture intervention – this is the first time – and thereafter, being able to show increased dietary diversity in women and young children and increased contribution of micronutrient from fish and vegetables.
