BookletCorporate general interestAchieving Food and Nutrition Security in the Chittagong hill tracts
Improving livelihoods through sustainable management of natural resources and technological innovations in agriculture
2014Also available in:
No results found.The Chittagong Hill Tracts are a unique part of Bangladesh. Large tracts of the region are covered by hills, creating a mountain ecosystem rich in biological and cultural diversity. In this area people have developed distinct agricultural practices and livelihood patterns. The CHT are home to a large number of ethnic communities, who depend mostly on jum, a type of traditional shifting cultivation on very steep slopes. The CHT are divided administratively into the three hill districts of Bandarb an, Khagrachari and Rangamati. It has a total population of about 1.7 million people and covers an area of 13,295 km². The harsh environment and decades of social unrest have made the hill tracts one of the most vulnerable regions in the country in terms of food security, income, employment, health, water and sanitation, education, access to infrastructure and services. The Chittagong Hill Tracts Peace Accord, signed in 1997, brought an end to more than two decades of conflict, making it possibl e for the local population to start improving their lives. The present challenges include land and population pressure, water scarcity in the dry season, extreme remoteness, weak market linkages and natural resource degradation. Greater efforts are needed to ensure that all the people in the Chittagong Hill Tracts enjoy food and nutrition security with respect for their unique traditions and identities. -
