The AAS Development Challenge
The AAS development challenge is to achieve sustainable
and continual improvements in agricultural productivity,
livelihoods and nutrition of poor communities in the
Southern Bangladesh Polder Zone in the face of increasing
salinity, changing hydrology, climate change and within acontext of complex and dynamic markets and social
change.

Our Starting Point
We believe in and seek to harnessan immense and inherent potentialfor:
1. People to innovate and adapt
2. Continued and sustainableimprovements in aquaticagricultural systems in the polder zone
7/28/2019 AAS Program Overview April 2013

1. Sustainable Increases in
System Productivity
2. Equitable Access to
Markets
4. Gender Equity
5. Policies and Institutions to
Empower AAS Users
3. Socio-Ecological
Resilience and AdaptiveCapacity
6. Knowledge, Sharing,
Learning and Innovation
AAS Research Themes

Norms for greater gender
equity at the household,
community and hub levels is
established.
Farmers lead, have
improved understanding of
and have improved access tomodern science and
technology
Private sector, government
and NGO services and
structures are poor-
responsive
Sustainable
reductions in
poverty &improvements in
Nutrition
Strategic Changes:
Greater gender equity in
household decision-making
Including food decisions
More control and/or
ownership of monetary and
other productive resources by
women
Women playing more
influential roles in community
governance
Women are respected as
important economic actors thelocal economy
Government policies support
gender equity and are
implemented
Women and the poor have
organized group approaches to
gain voice and power in
negotiations
Strategic Changes:
Farmers have enhanced
science skills which they use to
do research, analyze research
and share it with other farmers
and communities.
Farmers are aware of and
linked to key sources of
information and science
Formal sector researchers and
scientists regularly
communicate and engage with
farmer scientists
Farmers are linked to and
share their research and
knowledge with other
community members and
adjacent communities
CGIAR scientists actively
support and link their research
to community based research
agendas
Strategic Changes:
Agriculture input systems are
women and poor responsive.
Agriculture information
systems are developed with
women and poor as specific
target audiences and their
structures are designed for this
purpose
Markets are women and poor-
friendly in terms of
participation in buy, selling and
negotiating prices.
Women are involved in and
their opinions equal for water
and other common resource
committees
Women and the poor have
organized group approaches to
gain voice and power in
negotiations

OBSERVATION
Low rice
production
RESPONSE
Breeding
Define salinity
Fertilizer trials
Slow adoption of
new varieties,
low input use
Demonstrations
Participatory
selection
Training
Share cropsystem (1/3 of
harvest). No
access to credit.
No control over
water.
??????
Must have “own”
local rice varietiesfor own
consumption and
guests
????
The WorldFish work on “challenged ponds” is exploring this same model: Why is there
low productivity? Is it a lack of technology or are there other underlying factors?
