Descripción
Enhancing crop productivity is one key to securing food security in Bangladesh. The productivity of the crop sector in Bangladesh has increased significantly over time. The challenge, however, is to continue this momentum in the coming decades as the population grows and land is lost to other economic uses. The use of innovative demand-based technologies will help to meet this challenge. In the crop sector, new technologies are tested and delivered by front-line field extension staff of the Department of Agricultural Extension and private-sector organizations. To qualify for such positions, applicants require an agriculture diploma from the country’s Agricultural Training Institutes. In order to keep pace with changing agricultural knowledge and the demands of a modern agricultural extension service, the ATI diploma curriculum needed to be updated, along with teaching methods and institutional management. The project addressed these issues on a pilot basis, in partnership with DAE, for subsequent scaling-up by the Government of Bangladesh.
