Fight against Food Insecurity by Extending Fish Farming in the Extra-Customary Center of Yakoma

Freshwater fish farming has developed considerably in many parts of the world in recent years, but the situation is not the same in the extra-customary center of Yakoma, in order to help combat food insecurity. The aim of this study is to contribute to the fight against food insecurity, while identifying the factors hindering the expansion of fish farming in the extra- customary center of Yakoma. To this end, 120 fish farmers were selected by multi-stage random sampling in the 10 neighborhoods of Yakoma, and surveyed in two stages in their households. Over 60.8% of respondents cited lack of technical support as the main obstacle to expanding fish farming. Cases of theft, low income and others were not very alarming. Ultimately, the extension of fish farming would promote the availability of foodstuffs, job creation and household stability; hence the fight against the circle of poverty and food insecurity.
