DFM at the SSF Open House – World Oceans Week 2021

As part of the Small-Scale Fisheries Open House organized by TBTI, the Dried Fish Matters partnership will be hosting an event on Wednesday, June 2 at 11:00 UTC, addressing the “value” in dried fish value chains. All are welcome to join!

Overview of the panel

Dried fish is an essential part of diets, livelihoods, and cultures across South and South-East Asia, but is nearly invisible in research and policy. This virtual panel will begin with a pre-recorded presentation of images and commentaries from partners in the multinational “Dried Fish Matters” project, illustrating the diverse forms of value associated with dried fish in South and Southeast Asia. The introductory presentation will be followed by a panel discussion involving researchers from four countries. Panelists will explore the question: how might we better describe, support, and promote diverse forms of “value” in dried fish value chains?
