Irrigation Project: growing opportunity
An irrigation initiative introduced in 2022 helped farmers in Subarnachar return to Boro cultivation and strengthen their livelihoods.
Water and the farming year
In Subarnachar, Noakhali, access to irrigation is closely connected to the opportunity to cultivate Boro paddy. HMBD’s irrigation initiative, introduced in 2022, supported farmers in returning to cultivation and strengthening their livelihoods.
Supporting farming families
The HMBD portfolio describes a deep irrigation initiative supporting 35–40 farming families. It documents improved agricultural income and resilience in flood-affected land.
For a farming household, the ability to cultivate land is connected to both food and income. This initiative links environmental work with the practical needs of people who depend on agriculture.
Resilience rooted in place
The story is one example of HMBD’s work on the environment and community livelihoods. Its focus is local: helping families make productive use of land in Subarnachar through access to water.
