Professor David Little talks to researcher Stephanie Horn about her work in Bangladesh assessing the environmental and nutritional impact of tilapia production systems and their resilience to climate change.

Stephanie’s work involves looking at the nutritional and environmental impacts of different culture technologies, including the introduction of GIFT tilapia. The aim is to identify the most resilient and sustainable farming systems that can provide food and nutrition security for low-income producers and consumers as they face the risks of climate change.
