Does Size Matter? Reassessing the Relationship between Aquaculture and Poverty in Bangladesh
质疑了孟加拉国小规模水产养殖减贫的传统观点，提出准资本主义形式的水产养殖可能比准小农模式更能减少贫困和改善粮食安全。
Aquaculture has long been promoted by development institutions in Bangladesh on the understanding that it can alleviate poverty. Most of this attention has focused on forms of the activity commonly referred to as ‘small-scale’. This article draws on concepts from the literature on agricultural growth and elaborates a typology of aquaculture based on relations of production which suggests that, in Bangladesh, quasi-capitalist forms of aquaculture may possess greater potential to reduce poverty and enhance food security than the quasi-peasant modes of production generally assumed to do so. The implications of this conclusion are explored.
