Aquaculture and Fisheries Development

Seba Jagat has integrated aquaculture and fisheries development into its rural livelihood programs, recognizing their potential to enhance food security and provide sustainable income. Through the promotion of fish farming, Seba Jagat helps farmers and communities engage in high-value, low-maintenance farming systems that utilize water bodies effectively. Fish farming improves household nutrition by providing a rich source of protein and essential fatty acids, contributing to a more balanced diet, particularly in food-insecure communities. Seba Jagat provides training on pond management, fish breeding, water quality control, and sustainable harvesting techniques. Additionally, Seba Jagat helps establish linkages to markets, ensuring that fish farmers can access fair pricing for their produce. By promoting the diversification of agricultural practices, including aquaculture, Seba Jagat ensures that rural communities have access to multiple sources of income, reducing their reliance on single crops and increasing resilience to economic or environmental shocks.
