Floating garden: A centuries old heritage.

In the lowlands of Bangladesh, people are turning to a centuries-old form of floating garden to keep afloat. Floating garden agriculture, known locally as "Dhap," is a traditional, sustainable agricultural practice in the flood-prone wetlands of southern Bangladesh, where farmers create buoyant platforms from water hyacinth and other aquatic weeds. During monsoon time every year this country is heavily affected. In southern region most people abandon the rice corps and cultivate this centuries old technics. The practice serves as an innovative climate adaptation strategy by utilizing previously unusable flooded land, promoting local biodiversity, and creating a resilient ecosystem and livelihood system. For a country like Bangladesh where periods of waterlogging are increasing and becoming longer each year, floating farming is the future.
