About this award
Michigan State University received a $791,043 grant award from a civilian federal agency on January 1, 2023, to conduct research on the drivers and constraints of land cover and land use change in Asian aquaculture hotspots. The research addresses critical gaps in understanding aquaculture expansion across Asia, which accounts for approximately 80% of global aquaculture production. The project will extract and analyze aquaculture pond boundaries using satellite imagery and survey data across four major Asian aquaculture hotspots: the Ayeyarwady Delta in Myanmar, southwestern and northern Bangladesh, the Central Plains around Bangkok in Thailand, and Andhra Pradesh Province in India. The research will utilize Sentinel-2 satellite imagery from 2015-2024 to delineate aquaculture ponds annually and employ survey methodologies to understand the spatial, economic, and social factors driving aquaculture development in these regions.
The contract is structured as a research grant with no set-aside designation, reflecting a competitive award process. The project is scheduled for completion by December 31, 2026, and will be performed at Michigan State University's East Lansing, Michigan campus. This research directly supports broader national interests in global food and nutrition security by providing empirical data on aquaculture expansion patterns and the factors mediating agricultural transition in developing regions. The findings will inform policymaking on land use and aquaculture in key global production areas while contributing to the emerging academic literature on aquarian transition and agrarian political economy.
