  • Food systems see fish, not fisheries and aquaculture

    Open AccessXavier TezzoARTICLESingapore Journal of Tropical…2025

    This paper contends that dropping the wild–farmed binary from development thinking and replacing it with a singular understanding of food fish can fundamentally change the way we understand and govern fish production landscapes. I articulate such a perspective by elaborating the key processes shaping and linking fish production, distribution, and consumption in the Ayeyarwady Delta of Myanmar. By reflecting critically on fisheries and aquaculture…

  • Changing fish trade practices in Myanmar's rapidly transforming food system

    Open AccessXavier Tezzo, Simon R Bush et al.ARTICLEHuman Organization2024References: 73

    Wholesale markets, wholesalers, and processors play critical but underappreciated roles in shaping food systems. Most conventional research on food provisioning analyzes value chains in terms of their structure, conduct, and performance. We contend that a practices lens can illuminate how food systems are produced and reproduced through the emergence of new wholesale practices relating to quality, trust, and risk, and provide more nuanced underst…

  • A framework to guide research engagement in the policy process, with application to small-scale fisheries

    Open AccessBlake D Ratner, Blake Ratner et al.ARTICLEConservation Ecology2022

    Research-engaged decision making and policy reform processes are critical to advancing resilience, adaptation, and transformation in social-ecological systems under stress. Here we propose a new conceptual framework to assess opportunities for research engagement in the policy process, building upon existing understandings of power dynamics and the political economy of policy reform. We retrospectively examine three cases of research engagement i…

  • Consumption practices in transition

    Open AccessXavier Tezzo, Hsu Mon Aung et al.ARTICLEGeoforum2021Cited by: 4References: 17

    This article explores the reconfigurations of fish consumption practices in Myanmar in a context of rapid urbanization and changing availability of wild and farmed fish. Using a social practice lens, we analyze how everyday fish consumption practices change as people move from the rural Ayeyarwady Delta to Yangon city. We show how these reconfigurations are shaped by new routines in urban areas and the transition from capture fisheries to aquacul…

  • Food system perspective on fisheries and aquaculture development in Asia

    Open AccessXavier Tezzo, Sam Bush et al.ARTICLEAgriculture and Human Values2020Cited by: 2References: 17

    This paper reviews development research and policies on freshwater fish in South and Southeast Asia. We conduct a systematic review of academic literature from three major science-based policy institutions to analyze development research and policies that have accompanied the ongoing transition from freshwater capture fisheries to aquaculture in the region. Using a ‘food fish system’ framework allows for the identification and systematic comparis…
