Jhenaidah farmers are not an exception to this new trend. However, Chandu along with 300 other farmers, have been relatively happy and hopeful after taking on the new project by the NGO. Describing the process, Mohadebpur farmer Nasim Mandal said the farmers had dug a small pond adjacent to their farmland. The farmers said they gained a minimum of Tk5000, sometimes higher, through their newly adopted means of cultivation. The process itself is very easy to implement and so benefits both farmers and the environment, Tofayel said while describing the initiative.
