In this interview shot at the SNRD Africa Conference in Lusaka, Mazuba Mwanachingwala Muzyamba, Project Advisor under the Zambia’s Sustainable Aquatic Food Project, explains how small-scale aquaculture is being adapted to thrive under drought conditions in northern Zambia.

She discusses:

• Why deeper ponds are critical for water retention
• How fish farmers are making their own feed from maize, cassava, soya bean and sunflower
• The role of catfish in climate-resilient aquaculture
• Using nutrient-rich pond water to fertilize vegetables
• Cooking demos, smoking and drying fish, and other value addition practices
• And a clear call for policy support to unlock the full potential of small-scale fish farmers
