By supporting poor, vulnerable farmers in Bangladesh and India with fish and rice farming technologies and training, we will ensure an adequate, home-grown food supply for better nutrition and steadier incomes. Our community-led development approach will mean long-term sustainability and impact.

Situation
Floods are an everyday reality in Bangladesh, so many people rely and rice and fish farming to make a living. But small-holder farmers do not have access to innovative, hardier seed varieties and fish stocks. Neither do they have access to the necessary knowledge and networks to improve their yields particularly during uncertain weather. This means their incomes are not stable over the long term and they can't be sure of enough food supply.
Solution
The project will improve smallholder farmers’ technical knowledge by supporting with capital support and training in: the construction and maintenance of floating fish cages, using locally available materials; feeding and harvesting of improved fish stock
