| Innovation Title | Use of "garden-irrigation systems" and "WISH ponds (Water and Fish artificial ponds lined with tarpaulin)" for fish production in Myanmar |
| Innovation description | Research has explored novel solutions for utilizing small water bodies for fish production on small-holder farms in Myanmar. Innovations focused on two types of water bodies: "garden-irrigation systems" and "Water and Fish" so called WISH ponds. These novel solutions are a viable option for fish culture in Myanmar. This can have important contribution to poverty reduction and food and nutrition security, whilst increasing efficiency and productivity of water systems. |
