SDS has been at the forefront of establishing sustainable fisheries in the North-East Region working alongside several fish farmers in Assam, Tripura, and Odisha.  The freshwater aquaculture sector, constituting more than 95% of all aquaculture production, has witnessed a remarkable 6.5-fold increase in India over the past two decades. Acknowledging this growth, SDS recognizes the imperative to ensure its equitable distribution. Our approach in aquaculture is grounded in the understanding that small-scale aquaculture is an accessible and less resource-intensive option for farmers with limited resources. In a world where India proudly stands as the second-largest producer of cultural fisheries, SDS has taken on the challenge of transforming the fishery sector, and navigating the complex waters to nurture sustainable aquaculture practices.
