The Dried Fish Matters Knowledge Base is an open platform for the creation and sharing of knowledge about dried fish in South and South-East Asia. It is part of the research initiative "Dried Fish Matters: Mapping the social economy of dried fish in South and Southeast Asia for enhanced wellbeing and nutrition", funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada.
See the design specifications for the data management info hub outlined in the DFM project proposal and discussed in subsequent Working Group meetings.
