Is Aquaculture Pro-Poor? Empirical Evidence of Impacts on Fish Consumption in Bangladesh (2014, background): “Ahmed and Lorica (2002) emphasize “income linkages,” “employment linkages” and “[food] consumption linkages” as means by which aquaculture can improve food security and reduce poverty.”
Agriculture, pesticides, food security and food safety (2006, background): “Fish from aquaculture is an important source of protein in many countries and this activity is developing rapidly (Ahmed and Lorica, 2002; Thorpe et al., 2006).”
Livelihood Functions of Inland Fisheries: Policy Implications in Developing Countries. (2005, background): “Indeed it has been observed that even though aquaculture can offer benefits to poor people who lack other resources and has been promoted widely to such groups, uptake has been predominantly by higher socio-economic strata (Lewis, 1997; Lorenzen et al., 2000; Ahmed & Lorica, 2002).”
Conversion of organic material by black soldier fly larvae: establishing optimal feeding rates (2009, background): “Ahmed & Lorica (2002) described the positive effects of small-scale aquaculture on household income, employment and consumption.”
Nutrition and income from molluscs today imply vulnerability to ocean acidification tomorrow (2012, background): “Once a mollusc aquaculture industry exists in a country at a scale that can meet some of the country’s food demands, (e.g., Ahmed and Lorica 2002) techniques can be developed and refined to raise ocean acidification-resilient species or to amend culture enclosures in ways that protect vulnerable…”
Sustaining healthy diets: The role of capture fisheries and aquaculture for improving nutrition in the post-2015 era (2016, background): “…maximizing productivity and income-generating potential, the goals of fisheries policies remain largely sectoral and include little explicit consideration of the sector’s potential contribution to broader societal goals such as diets, nutrition, health and sustainability (Ahmed and Lorica, 2002).”
FISH CONSUMPTION AND FOOD SECURITY: A DISAGGREGATED ANALYSIS BY TYPES OF FISH AND CLASSES OF CONSUMERS IN SELECTED ASIAN COUNTRIES (2005, background): “There are also concerns that diversion of food fish from the developing world to developed countries may have lowered fish consumption among the poor households of exporting countries, so threatening their traditional source of food (Ahmed & Lorica, 2002; Kent, 1997, 2003).”
The agriculture-nutrition disconnect in India: what do we know? (2012, background): “…sourcing food and income from both agriculture and local forests fared better in terms of child anthropometry than those limited to either one alone (Rao et al. 1993), and in another the practice of aquaculture was found to be beneficial for both income and consumption (Ahmed and Lorica 2002).”
Linking small-scale fisheries and aquaculture to household nutritional security: an overview (2010, background): “Also, in this context, small-scale fisheries and aquaculture have been recognized as important opportunities for enhancing household food security (e.g. Ahmed and Lorica 2002).”
The contribution of fish intake, aquaculture, and small-scale fisheries to improving nutrition: A literature review (2010, background): “Contributions of aquaculture to improving food and nutrition security In theory, aquaculture interventions can contribute to improving nutritional status of households through people consuming fish produced from their own ponds, selling fish for household income to enhance their purchasing power, an”
