Washington, D.C. (IFPRI)* — Bangladesh’s recent aquaculture growth has defied predictions so much that it deserves to be called a “Blue Revolution.”  Even though aquaculture has enabled over 2 million Bangladeshis to escape poverty from 2000-2010, the country’s fisheries policy has yet to adapt to these changes.

Creating greater access to fish as a source of nutrition among poor households in the future will require policy reforms and targeted investments. These are some of the key findings of a new book from researchers at the International Food Policy Research Institute (IFPRI) and their collaborators.
