The main purpose of this Video Screening is to share good agricultural practices with WMG members and receive feedback from them about those good agricultural practices. Total three videos are screened within this session. The Topics are: Floating Vegetable Gardens, Flood Tolerant Rice Cultivation and Making Banana Flour. After observing those videos, WMG members provide their feedback on those videos. They said that floating vegetable garden cultivation is not practiced in their villages but they witnessed it in other areas. Flood Tolerant rice cultivation practiced in 25 polder. HabiburRhaman from Tolna WMG said that this season they cultivate saline tolerant crops but they don’t get sufficient crops because of water scarcity. Community Development Facilitator, Blue Gold suggested that we should discuss with Upazila Agricultural Extension Officer before seed plantation to minimize those problems. Making Banana Flour is a new experience for all the participants. They are not familiar with it and they appreciated the idea to make flour using banana. Kazi Faisal Islam and Masud Khan from JJS also participated in this training session.
