A Picture of Mini pond based Agriculture Production
Background:
Climate change is one of the greatest threats to human lives and livelihoods all over the world especially for the coastal region of Bangladesh. Furthermore, climate change and agriculture hold an inverse relationship; that is climate change impacts hamper agricultural production. Among other sectors, agriculture is facing deadliest experiences from climate change related natural disasters, as agriculture is the main livelihood option for the coastal people of Bangladesh. Hence, agricultural adaptation approach is one of the key aspects that are helpful to reduce agricultural crop vulnerability. In this connection, considering local level experiences, the main objective of this project is to find out suitable and viable adaptation measures that have the potential to help farmers to adapt climate change. These adaptation practices include identification of suitable cropping pattern, choice of seed, irrigation water management, crop intensification suitable transplanting and so on.
Purpose:
1. Extension of climate adaptive technology for crop production in fallow land on the working area,
2. To Introduce and make available of salt tolerant crop varieties to farmer level,
3. To increase profit for the farmers through production of salt tolerant crop varieties on the fallow land, and
4. To support the national level by increasing food production and create of wage-based employment opportunities to the farmers.
Working area: NGF implemented the project last year in two branches that are Munshigonj and Vetkhali under Shyamnagar upazila of Satkhira district.
Program Duration: 3 years
