Climate-Smart Farming

Southwest Bangladesh is frequently hit with cyclones, floods, and droughts, which makes life difficult for farmers. As a result, many families struggle to put nutritious food on the table and too many children are malnourished. USAID's Nobo Jatra project, implemented by World Vision, is working to change that. One of the many ways Nobo Jatra is intervening is by training and empowering farmers with climate-smart techniques, sustainable production methods, and increased access to markets... and it’s changing lives for farmers in the region! Just ask Sabita Sarder, a mother and farmer. Before Nobo Jatra, Sobita's land was barren and her family struggled to make ends meet. But then Sobita was trained in climate-smart farming and became a lead farmer in her community so she could show others how to replicate success. Now, just a year later, Sobita has won a government award for her lush, chemical-free farm, which yields more than enough produce for her family, with plenty to sell at the market for additional income.
