Bangladesh: Floating Gardens Sustain Farming In Flood Prone Area
September 29, 2026, Nazirpur, Pirojpur, Bangladesh: Farmers tend vegetable seedlings on a floating garden in Nazirpur Upazila, Pirojpur District, Bangladesh. Floating agriculture is a centuries-old farming practice in the flood-prone wetlands of southwestern Bangladesh, where farmland remains submerged during much of the monsoon season. Farmers build floating beds, locally known as dhap, from water hyacinth and other aquatic plants, creating a nutrient-rich growing medium without soil. The beds rise and fall with changing water levels, allowing vegetables and seedlings to be cultivated throughout the flood season. (Credit Image: © Syed Mahabubul Kader/ZUMA Press Wire)
