PAPUSSA
Policy Briefs
|
 |
|
The PAPUSSA Programme has made available an
increasing amount of information on peri-urban aquatic
production systems in South-East Asian cities, their benefits
and constraints. To further support the strengthening the
peri-urban aquatic production and marketing systems in the
above-mentioned cities, as well as in other South-East Asian
cities, stakeholders in these cities identified 4 key
recommendations (see below) to guide policy makers and other
senior stakeholders in further development of the sector. These
recommendations include the need to:
- Integrate aquaculture into urban planning
and development strategies
- Manage health risks to develop wastewater
into a valuable resource and asset
- Improve public health and food safety
concerned with urban aquaculture, and
- Promote more sustainable production and
marketing strategies.
An overall description of the importance, the
need and recommendations for development and policy making on
(peri)urban aquaculture is given in a first and introductory
Policy Brief. Each of these recommendations has further been
addressed in greater depth in 4 additional Policy Briefs. All
guidelines given are based on PAPUSSA research and output, and
aim to assist in the process of decision-making rather than to
provide definitive answers.

Household
Baseline and Monitoring Surveys
|
 |
|
Household Baseline and Monitoring surveys were
carried out over a period of one year with over 200 households
involved in growing fish and aquatic plants in each of the four
study cities in order to better understand the socio economic,
production, and health aspects at a household and community
level. The resulting detailed data collected was analysed and is
presented in the following reports which give an overall picture
of the production systems and the livelihoods of the people
involved in them.

A Users Manual for the Cultivation of
Commercially Important Edible Aquatic Plants in and around 4
Cities in SE Asia
|
 |
|
This manual is an output from the EC funded
Papussa (Production in Aquatic Peri-urban Systems in SE Asia)
project and was conceived and put together after finding there
was little if any technical support or information for the many
existing aquatic plant growers or those who might wish to begin
cultivating them on a commercial basis. The manual was put
together by Papussa staff in Bangkok, Hanoi, Ho Chi Minh City
and Phnom Penh after three years of working with aquatic plants
farmers in these cities.

TV video documentary
Aquatic plants grown in sewage
|
 |
|
Cambodia’s capital Phnom Penh enjoys a beautiful
setting on the Mekong. The river provides both transport and
income for the city’s one million population. Now another,
unlikely, stretch of water - Beung Cheung Ek Lake – which
receives 80% of the city’s sewage - is offering economic
opportunities for three and a half thousand lower income
families through the cultivation of the edible aquatic plant -
Morning Glory - which is widely consumed by the city's expanding
population. See below link to this video which was produced in
conjunction with Hands On Films, the Papussa project's Albert
Salamanca (University of Durham UK), Khuong Khov, Sok Daream and
Sok Seyha (Royal University of Agriculture, Phnom Penh) and DFID
(Dept for International Development UK)
