There is a great need to quickly disseminate water-saving technologies to the farmers of Bangladesh, according to Md. Toufiqul Alam, additional secretary of the country's Ministry of Agriculture.
A work plan to solicit feedback from policymakers, experts, farmers, and other stakeholders associated with the implementation of the Muhuri Irrigation Project was recommended. Participants (photo) included the Bangladesh Water Development Board (BWDB), the Department of Agriculture and Extension (DAE), irrigation operators, and farmers. This project is part of ADB’s program on “Investment Assessment and Application of High-Level Technology for Food Security in Asia and the Pacific.”
Prominent agricultural scientists, water management specialists, and agricultural extension professionals from the Bangladesh Rice Research Institute (BRRI) and Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI) joined IRRI, ADB, DAE, and 32 farmers in deliberations and field visits to project areas.
