Description

Wetlands are vital to the livelihoods of rural households in sub-Saharan Africa. As rainfed terrestrial agriculture declines, many wetlands face encroachment for crop cultivation. This book addresses the fundamental challenge for wetland scientists and policy makers: finding a balance between human needs for food and income and the maintenance of ecosystem integrity. This research focuses on the potential of smallholder integrated aquaculture farming systems, known as Fingerponds, located around the Lake Victoria wetlands in Kenya. By examining these specific systems, the study offers insights into how integrated aquaculture can serve as a viable strategy for the wise use of freshwater wetlands. It provides a detailed analysis of how these farming methods function within the regional landscape to support local populations while addressing environmental concerns.

Key Features
