Abstract

The BOMOSA Project will research the economic viability, social acceptance and necessary institutional environment of a relatively simple technology that has been proven technically feasible over the last two years. BOMOSA is pioneering small scale fish farming in Eastern Africa by establishing rural aquaculture networks (coordinated in a “hub and plot” system) to economically integrate aquaculture with agriculture. The BOMOSA system will form the basis of a socio-economic model that will contribute to poverty alleviation in Eastern Africa by providing sources of supplementary high protein food and additional income to rural communities in Kenya, Ethiopia and Uganda.
