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, based at the University of Manitoba in Canada, brings an interdisciplinary team to address this major oversight.

We are excited to announce the Dried Fish Matters partnership, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC).
