Fish farming ends hunger, Empowers women

摘要

Modadugu Vijay Gupta was recently named joint winner of the first ever Sunhak Peace Prize, worth $1 million, for creating an aquaculture system tailored to poor, rural populations in Asia, Africa and the Pacific. Here he addresses the issue of globalfood security.EFFORTS to eradicate hunger and improve nutrition, though well intentioned, too often focus on emergency relief rather than on the creation of stable, scalable, long-term solutions that do more than ease suffering until the next food crisis arrives.Fortunately, one of the best solutions is one of the most cost-effective but also one that does not get the attention and funding that its success proves it deserves: aquaculture.
