Abstract

In collaboration with 47 colleagues from seven countries and 20 institutions, including CIFRI, I am leading the proposed project Dried fish matters:
mapping the social economy of dried fish in South and Southeast Asia for enhanced wellbeing and nutrition. There is good reason to think that the proposal is likely to be funded and, regardless, I think it lays out a path
breaking and important area for research that it is worthwhile introducing. In this summary of the Dried Fish Matters proposal I provide an overview of the
project's focus and then suggest a few questions that highlight why we think CIFRI stands to make a key contribution to the project.
