Resilient Roots: Leveraging Indigenous Practices for Salinity Adaptation in Southern Bangladesh

Resilient Roots: Leveraging Indigenous Practices for Salinity Adaptation in Southern Bangladesh

 The initiative’s objectives are

1. a) Screening out the indigenous knowledge, tools, practices, crop types, and varieties that are effective in agricultural adaptation against increased salinity in Southern Bangladesh.
2. b) Assessing the socio-economic-ecological-cultural and resilience feasibility of the screened Indigenous knowledge, tools, practices, crop types, and varieties.
3. c) Formulating a bankable project proposal with the aim of:

• Scientifically validating and piloting the screened and feasible/viable/prospective indigenous knowledge, tools, practices, crop types, and varieties.
• Providing policy input at national and international levels through a bottom-up approach.
• Strengthening partnerships with local food systems networks and scaling up the solution outcomes.

These outcomes will contribute to the SW&FS Partnership’s ambitions by promoting sustainable agricultural practices, fostering knowledge sharing, and supporting policy advocacy to address salinity issues.
