This case study from Myanmar demonstrates how powdered small indigenous fish species (SIS) can improve child nutrition. It highlights the innovation of portable fish driers, community-led trials, and collaboration with NGOs and local food companies. SIS powder is nutrient-dense, safe for infants, and accepted by families, addressing stunting and nutrient deficiencies effectively.
