Bangladesh Pilots Floating Agricultural Gardens in Coastal Areas

Mohini0 CommentsInternational

In response to increasing coastal salinity and land inundation, Bangladesh is piloting floating agricultural gardens in areas near Khulna. Constructed on buoyant platforms using bamboo and recycled plastic, these gardens allow crops like vegetables and herbs to flourish even during seasonal flooding. Initial trials demonstrate improved yields and water resilience. This innovation is attracting interest from coastal Indian districts and Nepal’s marshlands, where land use is challenged by climate change. Development agencies suggest this could scale into regional climate-adaptive agriculture.
