Listening to the Feed System: Field Insights from Nigeria
Fish feed is one of the biggest costs facing aquaculture producers in Nigeria.
Fish feed is one of the biggest costs facing aquaculture producers in Nigeria. New fieldwork by WorldFish and partners in Lagos and Oyo states is helping identify why locally produced feed remains expensive, and what needs to change for more affordable, sustainable and climate-resilient feed systems to scale. The Development and Scaling of Sustainable Feeds for Resilient Aquatic Food Systems in Sub-Saharan Africa (FASA) project has taken this question into the field through its climate change deep-dive work in Nigeria. Implemented across Lagos and Oyo states, the fieldwork focuses on collecting data to strengthen sustainable aquaculture practices and inform climate-resilient feed solutions.
