When managed properly, wetlands can be both an economic boon and provide ecosystems with key environmental services. But wetland farming can also provide much more than subsistence incomes for households. It can help farmers develop new enterprises and establish more resilient livelihoods.

Today, a widespread perception is that agriculture simply destroys wetlands, undermining biodiversity and degrading all the beneficial ecosystem services that they provide.
