In Bangladesh, USAID has been at the forefront of transforming agri-food system through promoting inclusive and sustainable climate smart technologies and practices. This group of women has been trained and recruited by a local agro firm in Jashore, in the southern part of the country, to prepare improved "grow media," a critical input for vegetable production that promises better and higher yield. This also contributes to maintaining and improving soil health. Through a grant under a contract, USAID is supporting this local private sector firm to not only promote climate smart agricultural technologies, practices and approaches, but also helping rural women with income earning activities, contributing to their welfare.
