Community-based management of fisheries resources: An approach to sustainable growth
Main waterbodies and fisheries are inherently shared resources that each member of the community is entitled to use equally. Fishing creates jobs and supports the livelihoods of millions of people in rural regions, particularly in Asia and Africa, while also contributing to food and nutrition security. However, unsustainable fishing practices put fish resources under constant pressure. Local communities suffer because of these careless, continuous practices – especially while facing the growing impact of climate change through floods or droughts.
Adapting to Climate Change: Innovative Techniques in the Smallholder Aquaculture Sector
Small-scale enterprises in the aquaculture sector of Southeast Africa face considerable challenges due to climate change, severely affecting water availability, disease prevalence, and farm productivity. Extreme weather events like floods or dry spells can already lead to severe crop losses across entire regions if not addressed adequately by fish farmers. Climate-driven changes in temperature and precipitation are expected to have long-term impacts on the aquaculture sector at multiple levels.

Factsheet on Good Practices in Agroecology
The factsheet “Agroecology – From Principles to Transformative Pathways” gives an insight into how the 13 principles of agroecology can be used to shape a pathway for food and agriculture systems transformation. It compiles five good practices from GIZ projects in India, Mali and Mexico as well as two Global Programmes which are operating in various African and Asian countries. The holistic agroecological approaches i.e. include women self-help groups, multi-stakeholder dialogues, aquaculture, rural youth employment and biodiversity protection – just to name a few.
Factsheet: On the Economic Potential of Agroecology
This factsheet gives an overview of the economic potential of agroecology – and shows that agroecological systems can be more profitable than conventional systems, depending on the context. Findings from an exemplary GIZ project underline that agroecology can lead to economic benefits.
Applying the CRISP tool in Bolivia and Zambia: Identifying climate risks and adaptation options in agricultural and food system projects
CRISP helps practitioners and policy makers in the agri-food sector to understand climate related risks, and to identify relevant adaptation options for their specific agricultural systems. This publication illustrates the practical application of the CRISP tool in Bolivia and Zambia. To show you what the tool can do, and which impacts it has already generated, two projects are presenting their findings in this factsheet.
