dc.description.abstractIn the Municipality of Yapacani (a subtropical region in Bolivia) approximately 4,000 rural families live in poverty, mainly due to extreme dependence on single crop rice farming, which is highly vulnerable to changes in the weather and market conditions. The Peces Para la Vida (PPV) project introduced technology for polyculture (integrated, multispecies fish farming), with an emphasis on leadership by women, who have tripled their families’ incomes through fish farming. This successful model centers on family-based productive business units and promotes multi-stakeholder partnerships, which in turn has contributed significantly to local nutrition, and the development of the national fishery sector.en
