Sustainable technologies must for achieving food security

Agriculturists at a meeting have said acceptance of sustainable agricultural technologies at farmers’ levels have become a must for achieving food and nutrition security.

They made the observation at the District Level Research Follow-up and Progress Sharing Meeting organised by Rangpur Dinajpur Rural Service (RDRS) Bangladesh with the assistance of the Department of Agricultural Extension (DAE) at its office on Wednesday afternoon.

The event was arranged under the Understanding Farm Household Management Decision making for Increased Productivity in the Eastern Gangetic Plains (FBIP) Project with financial support from the University of Western Australia.

The project is being implemented in six upazilas of Dinajpur, Nilphamari and Lalmonirhat since July 2018 to find out the social, cultural and psychological perspectives of farmers in decision-making regarding the adoption of newer technologies and practices.

Deputy Director of the DAE for Dinajpur Agriculturist Md Manjurul Haque attended the meeting as the chief guest.
