SciDevNet: By combining aquaculture with wet paddy farming in its coastal areas Bangladesh can meet food security and climate change issues, says a new report. The approach promises more nutritious food, without causing environmental damage, and has the potential for a 'blue-green revolution' on Bangladesh's existing crop areas extending to about 10.14 million hectares and an additional 2.83 million hectares that remain waterlogged for about 4--6 months. "The carrying capacities of these additional lands...
