Why Dried Fish Matters

For many of the most vulnerable peoples of the South and Southeast Asia region, dried fish is of vital nutritional, economic, social, and cultural importance.

Despite this, the diverse and complex economy that produces and distributes dried fish, and the threats to it, are all but invisible in research and policy.

The Dried Fish Matters project brings a network of interdisciplinary research teams in six countries to address this major oversight.
