Food Security in Bangladesh: Improving Wheat, Maize and Papaya Production and Impact of Arsenic Contamination. July 2005-June 2006 Annual Report

摘要

Increasing shortage of animal draft power and human labor for farming operations, and the need for reducing the turnaround time between wet season rice and the following wheat or other non-rice crops, necessitated we initiate an agricultural machinery development, promotion and adoption program. The major objectives of the program are intensification and diversification of the existing cropping systems and conservation of agricultural resources for sustainable productivity and livelihood improvement. The program continued through 2005-06.
