How can a village secure its food supply in an unpredictable climate? In Biasso, Côte d’Ivoire, a series of neatly lined ponds are doing just that. Built in response to food shortages, these fish farms have become a sustainable solution, providing a reliable source of nutrition and income even in the face of heavy rains and prolonged droughts. By reinvesting profits into expansion and infrastructure, including a new well with an electric pump, the community has become nearly self-sufficient while turning the site into a source of pride, and even a local attraction. In this episode, host Ivy Prosper takes us to Biasso, where fish farming is helping a community adapt to climate change through practical, Nature-based Solutions. As Marina and other residents share, what began as a necessity has grown into a model of resilience, supporting both livelihoods and long-term sustainability.
