This paper aims to address this gap by investigating the relationship between the small-scale freshwater aquaculture sector, livelihoods, and food security in six regions of Madagascar. Using data collected onsite in 2021, the results indicate that the presence of extension services, the adoption of integrated production systems, and higher education levels are positively related to fish income generation. On the other hand, higher wealth levels, women in a decision-making position, fish consumption, and higher levels of education are positively associated with food security. (Less)
