In school we have been learning all about the Floating Garden Project in Bangladesh, a revolutionary agricultural initiative that has emerged as a solution to the country's challenges posed by climate change and food insecurity. The project involves construction of artificial islands that rise and fall with changing water levels. The floating gardens have shown to be a cost-effective and sustainable farming method, allowing farmers to grow a diverse range of crops ensuring food securities for local communities.
£231 can pay for enough floating gardens for a farmer to feed their family for a year. £94 can pay for a community seed bank, £77 can pay to set up and care for one floating garden, £36 can pay to train a floating garden farmer, and £12 can pay to train one farmer to care for young seedlings.
