| Abstract | Establishing school ponds and a curriculum for school-age children and women’s groups should be an effective approach to educate rural communities about the nutritional value of fish and methods of aquaculture. Four ponds of 76–264 m2 in size were established, one each in four public schools of Chitwan and Nawalparasi districts in Nepal. A school curriculum was also established to demonstrate methods of aquaculture and educate school-age children on nutritional value of fish. This technology was also disseminated to women’s groups to expand understanding of the value of fish production and consumption for their families. |
