| dc.description | There is increasing concern among development agencies that development should be socially as well as environmentally sustainable. A major question that was posed at the Donor Consultation is to what extent is aquaculture a poverty reducing technology? It is well recognized through a series of reviews, the latest being the Study of International Fisheries Research Needs for Developing Countries (SIFR) (World Bank et al, 1992), that there has been limited impact of most donor funded fisheries dev elopment projects in general. With respect to reducing poverty specifically, experience with projects in Africa and Latin America led Martinez-Espinosa (1992) to refer to rural aquaculture, small-scale aquaculture systems appropriate for the poor, as a “myth” and “no panacea for solving the problems of rural social emargination”. The purpose of this paper is to show that aquaculture can and does contribute to the sustainable rural livelihoods of poor farming households; and that it could contr ibute more widely to improving the welfare of the poor if appropriate approaches were implemented by development agencies. | |
