Saline resilience paddy in Bangladesh



Bangladesh Prepare for the Sea Level Rise!


Bangladesh will be facing a serious problem as the sea level rise due to global warming. Some of the soil near the coastal area already facing salinity problem. Some of the saline resilience crops already being developed to overcome the problem. Pictures show the example of the saline resilience rice variety developed in Bangladesh. It seem this variety produce quite good amount of rice even in the saline environment. Unfortunately, I was a week earlier from the harvesting. Just hope to be able to taste how the `aji`.
