Portable ponds for communities in need

Abstract

To address the extreme food insecurity of the poor households in Bangladesh, WorldFish has designed a portable small pond which can hold fish in it and at the same time, provide water for horticulture. Trials began in 2014 when these WISH (water and fish) ponds were distributed amongst selected rural pond-less communities and semi-urban landless communities, and tested for integrated aquaculture and horticulture
