The purpose of this pilot project is to develop economically viable fishponds on small farms which produce a food crop (fish) through methods which the typical small farmer, agriculture association, and/or rural community can afford, and manage. The principal long range goal of the project is nutritional in character. Secondary goals include: (a) additional income source, (b) increased employment opportunities. The specific objectives of the USAID/DR grant are training, fish pond construction, and nutrition education.
