Abstract
Researchers of this NutriFish project will work with the fish sector and its associated value chains to address the nutritional needs of vulnerable groups who need high quality, nutritious diets. NutriFish aims at increasing availability, accessibility and consumption of underutilized fish, and the processing of by-products through public-private partnerships, for sustainable food and nutrition security, and to better the livelihoods of vulnerable groups. The improvement of handling methods and the development of nutritious, low-cost, appealing, and safe fish-based products are needed to increase availability and accessibility to vulnerable groups in Uganda.
