Ben Belton and Shakuntala Thilsted are co-authors on two major new papers that assess the contexts that shape how fish and aquatic products influence nutritional and economic outcomes for producers and consumers in Bangladesh and Myanmar. The Bangladesh paper looks at the importance of integrated aquaculture for economic and nutrition security. The Myanmar paper (a DFM output) analyzes the changing context of animal sourced foods, including aquatic foods, in Myanmar diets through analysis of nationally representative household consumption surveys.
