Inclusive Food Systems: Women and Aquaculture with Faridul Haque.
In the fifth episode of our Inclusive Food Systems podcast series, we discuss women’s participation in aquaculture food systems with our guest Faridul Haque.
In the episode, Faridul highlights the potential of aquaculture to improve food security for women. Drawing from his work at WorldFish, he elaborates on Gender Transformative Approaches in aquaculture interventions as well as solutions that can be implemented on a broader scale in order to transform the image of women from being seen as merely ‘fishermen’s wives’ to being acknowledged as key participants in the global fishing economy.
