Abstract

Areas in southern Bangladesh share common economic prospects but also challenges. The vast region is already undergoing adverse effects from natural disasters, such as tropical cyclones and accompanying storm surges. Integrated farming, with poultry, fish and crops, can play a significant role in increasing manifold production, income, nutrition and employment opportunities for rural populations in the southern part of the country. This study covered fish, vegetable, poultry and fruit production, and the subsequent report presents the current homestead production pattern over five components: (1) productivity and profitability, (2) income, (3) nutrition, (4) gender and labor, and (5) integrating different homestead components for rural farm households.
