Dried Fish Matters: Mapping the Social Economy of Dried Fish in South and Southeast Asia for Enhanced Wellbeing and Nutrition, or DFM, is a Social Science and Humanities Research Council of Canada Partnership Grant project. The project spans a duration of eight years: 2018-2026, and involves research in six focus countries in South and Southeast Asia: Sri Lanka, India, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, and Cambodia. Since inception, the project has also sponsored smaller exploratory studies in Indonesia, the Philippines, and the African Great Lakes region. A large number of institutional partners, collaborators, and students from Asia and Canada are involved in the DFM project, which aims to develop the first comprehensive understanding of the importance of dried fish in South and Southeast Asia from social, economic, cultural, nutritional, policy, and other perspectives.
