New cropping pattern boosts income for disadvantaged farmers in Bangladesh.
A study in Bangladesh looked at different ways to help people in char land increase their income. They compared two cropping patterns: one that farmers usually use and one with different crops. The new pattern produced more crops and made more money. The altered pattern with maize, jute, and rice was much better for making a profit than the old pattern. This means that using these specific crops can help poor char dwellers in Jamalpur district grow more and earn more money.
