Resumen
Descripción
This special issue which aims to enrich knowledge of the sector all over the African continent, covers the value and contributions of diverse aquatic systems to food security, nutrition and livelihoods. The editorial quantifies the significance of the potential of Africa inland fisheries for food and nutrition and goes significantly beyond food security as narrowly perceived to view it also beyond direct provision of food to include through income and employment.
The core issues relevant to successful management of Africa's inland aquatic ecosystems resources include the biological realities of water insufficiency and invasion by water weeds but are also about community participation.
