Farmer-participatory experiments on integrated agriculture-aquaculture (IAA) on smallholder farms in Ghana were conducted. Based on preliminary results, the potentials of this integration technology for transforming existing, traditional farming systems to become more suitable clearly exist. Household economics, together with four sustainability indicators, show that farms which adopt IAA become more sustainable. Additional environmental benefits as well as increased awareness among farmers as to the effects of their activities can be achieved. Possible measures for policy formulation towards widespread adoption are suggested.
