Suchana: Ending the cycle of undernutrition in Bangladesh. Climate resilience technology: aquaculture

Abstract

Suchana interventions focus on the reduction of risks to adapt to the impact of climate change on nutrition, in order to improve the resilience of poor communities and households. Suchana works in areas that are the most vulnerable to flash floods and heavy and erratic rainfalls that exceed 3,000 mm. The programme works in the reduction and adaptation of the impacts of climate change on nutrition, and to increase the resilience of poor communities and households. Suchana’s disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation interventions focus on small-scale farming innovation and adaptation. These interventions are based on climate-resilient production technologies that focus on horticulture, poultry and fisheries, and early planting. These are in aid of improved income generation, nutrition education, financial inclusion, and social safety nets.
