“For this project, we need a lot of tilapia, about 1,900," says Ndao.”

“It’s one of 60 fields across the region where the team, in conjunction with local farmers, will be trying out this potential win‑win‑win solution.”

“Ndao and her colleagues found that adding fish to farms increased rice yields by about 25%, significantly boosted income and slightly reduced snail numbers.”

“Senegal imports about half the rice it consumes.”

“The team is on a mission to scoop up nearly 2,000 tilapia at a fish farm in Dagana, Senegal.”
