Synopsis (short abstract) Aquaculture production (fish farming) in Bangladesh grew by nearly 200 percent between 2001 and 2015, to just over two million tonnes. The sustainability of further expansion will depend on ensuring high-quality seed and feed is produced, distributed and utilisedin an efficient, socially equitable, and environmentally appropriate manner. The project enabled seed quality to be enhanced by initiating a selective breeding programme to produce improved broodstock, and by developing better hatchery m anagement practice guidelines. Feed quality was enhanced by establishing monitoring systems to ensure farmers accessed high-quality, unadulterated feed.

    Garantir l’expansion durable de l’aquaculture au Bangladesh - TCP/BGD/3501 2017
    Also available in:
    La production aquacole (pisciculture) au Bangladesh qui a enregistré une augmentation de près de 200 pour cent entre 2001 et 2015, atteint maintenant un peu plus de deux millions de tonnes. La durabilité d’une expansion accrue dépendra de l’obtention de semences et d’aliments de haute qualité qui seront produits, distribués et utilisés de manière efficace, socialement équitable et respectueuse de l’environnement. Le projet a permis de renforcer la qualité des semences en lançant un programme d’é levage sélectif devant produire des reproducteurs améliorés et en élaborant de meilleures directives relatives à la gestion des écloseries. La qualité des aliments a été renforcée par la mise en place de systèmes de surveillance garantissant que les agriculteurs aient accès à des aliments de haute qualité et non frelatés.

    Enhancing urban horticulture production in Bangladesh - TCP/BGD/3503 2019

    Bangladesh is characterized by a high rate of urbanization, giving rise to three major problem groups for urban environment sustainability, namely population growth, the depletion of resources and atmospheric pollution. The leading development challenge of the country today is to include poverty alleviation, sustainable development and environmental management in the context of its rapidly growing population. Against this background, the project aimed to increase horticulture production in two of the country’s most densely populated cities, Dhaka and Chittagong, to contribute to food security and create a positive impact on urban environment.

    Enhancing crop productivity is one key to securing food security in Bangladesh. The productivity of the crop sector in Bangladesh has increased significantly over time. The challenge, however, is to continue this momentum in the coming decades as the population grows and land is lost to other economic uses. The use of innovative demand-based technologies will help to meet this challenge. In the crop sector, new technologies are tested and delivered by front-line field extension staff of the Department of Agricultural Extension and private-sector organizations. To qualify for such positions, applicants require an agriculture diploma from the country’s Agricultural Training Institutes. In order to keep pace with changing agricultural knowledge and the demands of a modern agricultural extension service, the ATI diploma curriculum needed to be updated, along with teaching methods and institutional management. The project addressed these issues on a pilot basis, in partnership with DAE, for subsequent scaling-up by the Government of Bangladesh.
