Upcoming FAO Interventions
OVERALL GOAL: Reduce vulnerability (by improving food production and
income generation) and develop coping mechanisms to protect livelihoods
against future flooding and water-logging.
OUTCOME: The adoption of agricultural diversification, technologies and
practices by 1000 farmers from Satkhila District that are unable to grow rice
crops because of persistent water-logging of their paddy fields
Output
1. Suitable options
for agricultural diversification in water-logged areas
2. Replication/up-scaling of new & improved floodplain seasonal fisheries & orchard
management technologies & practices
3. Capacity building of DAE, DoF, service providers & farmers’ groups, associations,
producer & marketing CBOs, etc
