In collaboration with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, we are assessing the efficacy of diverse approaches for managing white-tailed deer in southern Michigan, and how reducing their abundance can improve food security and mitigate economic and environmental loss.

Small-scale inland fisheries are critical for hundreds of millions of livelihoods around the world. Many of these livelihoods belong to the post-harvest sector (fish processing and trade). Our work in Malawi analyzes survey data from more than 900 fishers and traders from 72 fish markets throughout the country to understand the distribution of food security and livelihood benefits from the country’s fisheries.

Climate change represents an existential crisis to many of the world’s food systems, including aquatic food systems (fisheries and aquaculture). We are synthesizing knowledge about how climate change is affecting freshwater fisheries and aquaculture – and how people and policies are adapting. We observe clear differences between impacts and experiences in the Global North and Global South, with implications for vulnerability, risk, resilience, and justice.

Small-scale inland fisheries are critical for hundreds of millions of livelihoods around the world. Many of these livelihoods belong to the post-harvest sector (fish processing and trade). Our work in Malawi analyzes survey data from more than 900 fishers and traders from 72 fish markets throughout the country to understand the distribution of food security and livelihood benefits from the country’s fisheries. We find that benefits are inequitably distributed, for example women make significantly lower earnings and profit margins than men. Evidence-based interventions may be able to improve livelihoods and development outcomes in this important wild food system.

Climate change represents an existential crisis to many of the world’s food systems, including aquatic food systems (fisheries and aquaculture). Based on a comprehensive literature review of more than 400 scientific papers and interviews with more than 30 experts from around the world, we are synthesizing knowledge about how climate change is affecting freshwater fisheries and aquaculture – and how people and policies are adapting. We observe clear differences between impacts and experiences in the Global North and Global South, with implications for vulnerability, risk, resilience, and justice.
