Suspending horticulture in sacks above the ground can result in higher levels of productivity for
vegetables when the challenges of unfertile or saline soil, flooding, waterlogging, and land and
water constraints are regularly encountered.
Previously used feed and fertilizer sacks are filled with a high-productivity soil mixture. Vegetables
are grown on the top and/or in holes cut into the sides of the sacks. While growing vegetables in
sacks has existed for many years in Bangladesh, the technique has been modified by WorldFish
in collaboration with farmer researchers. This new approach is highly effective in helping families
adapt to salinity intrusion and waterlogging by suspending agriculture production 60 centimeters
(cm) off the ground.
