As the aquaculture sector grows, so do the risks associated with production and these risks transcend farm boundaries. Traditionally applied risk management approaches, focused on farm-level strategies, are unable to address these area-level risks. Reflecting a trend observed in other agro-food industries, risk management and assurance approaches that address aquaculture risks beyond the unit of production are surfacing. While these are emerging as key approaches, we lack a fundamental understanding of how they address the sharing of production risks through the collaboration of actors across landscapes. Zooming in on Asia, a region that hosts the vast majority of global aquaculture production, the purpose of this thesis is to explore what aquaculture risk management beyond the farm entails and in what ways this is institutionalized in the Asian aquaculture sector.Building on relational and dynamic perspectives on space, risk and institutionalization, I introduce a novel, socio-spatial and relational perspective to study the challenge of addressing production risks at a scale beyond the farm. Using this social scientific approach, I study a sample of Asian management initiatives and global assurance models that represent variation in the manner in which risk management beyond the farm is institutionalized. Four types of institutional arrangements were selected to function as the scientific sample upon which I draw higher level observations about risk management beyond the farm. I study individual farmers and their local networks (Chapter two), market-led improvement projects that sit within global value chains (Chapter three), a government-led extension program (Chapter four) and assurance models (Chapter five).Chapter two empirically examines how individual aquaculture farmers interpret and manage area-level production risks and the extent to which they operate beyond the boundaries of their farms. The analysis is based on a comparison between intensive aquaculture farmers in Kung Krabaen Bay, Thailand, and a mixture of integrated mangrove shrimp and extensive shrimp farmers in Kien Vang Forest, Vietnam. The spatial configuration of production risk management in both areas demonstrated a focus on the farm. Though farmers did recognise area-level production risks, this did not result in collectively practised risk management strategies at a broad landscape scale, which demonstrates the need to rethink the development of area-based approaches. Findings suggest that spatial models of area-based aquaculture management should be based on a nested set of areas within a landscape, defined by the socio-spatial extent of farmer networks within which the interpretation of risk is homogeneous.Chapter three explores the manner in which the management of production risks beyond farm scale is institutionalized in private-led improvement projects. This chapter analyses how aquaculture improvement projects led by NGOs and buyers address risk management at different scales by comparing a 'top-down basic' aquaculture improvement project in Vietnam and a 'bottom-up comprehensive' aquaculture improvement project in China. The results indicate that aquaculture improvement projects struggle with institutionalizing risk management at an area-level because of the difficulties both NGOs and buyers face in inducing horizontal cooperation to address shared risk between farmers. This is attributed to the poor capacity of these actors to align improvement projects with the social and environmental conditions of production.
