| dc.description | In the past two decades, Asia has been responsible forapproximately 90 percent of global aquacultureproduction. Global and regional demand for fish isexpected to increase significantly in coming decades as aresult of population increase and potential changes inpeople’s dietary habits. Further growth of aquaculture inAsia is crucial to meeting this demand. It has beenprojected that Asian aquaculture production will need toincrease by 60 percent by 2030.In order to support the sustainable growth of aquaculturein the Asia and Pacific Region, FAO began to implement aRegional Initiative on Sustainable Intensification ofAquaculture for Blue Growth in early 2014. Addressingtwo major challenges faced by the aquaculture industry inthe region - the need to improve the use of naturalresources while increasing the productivity and resilienceof small farmers in the context of climate change andother natural and socioeconomic uncertainties - theinitiative supported field projects in the participatingcountries to promote innovative aquaculture farmingpractices, including demonstration projects of rice-fishfarming in Indonesia and rice-shrimp farming in Viet Nam,and a country project to build the resilience of tilapiafarmers in the Philippines. All the field projectsimplemented under the initiative have achievedremarkable results in terms of upgrading farming practicesand generating knowledge and experiences that can beshared with other countries in the region.The current project was formulated to support the scaling-up of the innovative aquaculture farming systems andpractices proven to be successful under the regionalinitiative. Its aim was to disseminate and demonstrateinnovative rice-fish farming and climate-resilient tilapiapond culture practices in the five focus countries and tostrengthen human capacity and the enabling environmentfor the scaling-up | |
