Climate resilient agricultural practice (mini-pond) in coastal region of Bangladesh

Climate resilient agricultural practice (mini-pond)

Coastal region of Bangladesh suffering for global warming. Farmer cannot cultivate crop year round in their land for increasing salinity. They wait for rain water which reduce saline of soil and cultivate late Aman only. For adaptation and mitigate saline problem we implementing different modern agricultural practices like Mini-pond, Surgeon, Mulching, salt tolerant new crop, Earth tower and hanging vegetables etc. Among these Mini-pond has become most effective and sustainable practice to farmer. Instead of late Aman only farmer can harvest three crops and vegetable in dyke for whole year. Thus farmer get fish in the mini-pond that is linked with drainage system. The practices increases cropping pattern (Aman-Mustard-Boro) in coastal region.

Safe vegetable production in cluster

Safe vegetable production

Food safety has become a burning issue as developing country. Farmer using excessive fertilizer and pesticide in subconscious mind to cultivate vegetable. They harvest crop before breaking residual effect. For this reason, we are providing bio-pesticide, Sex pheromone trap, Yellow color trap, Blue color trap, bishtop and training. As the result of our technical team, we get Eight (8) cluster of conscious farmer who are producing safe vegetable. We establish a save vegetable sell corner. So that consumer can get safe vegetable without interfere of middle man.
