UN Experts: Water Management Key to Bangladesh’s Food Security
At a recent seminar in Dhaka, UN experts and government officials stressed that strong water management is vital for Bangladesh’s food security and climate resilience. They highlighted that rising salinity, irregular rainfall, and climate impacts are putting pressure on agriculture.
