Regenerating Soil, Reclaiming the Future - A DIU-led Call for Sustainable Agriculture in Jashore

Daffodil International University (DIU), in collaboration with Heifer International Bangladesh (HIB), has embarked on a mission to assess and rejuvenate the health of Bangladesh’s agricultural heartland. Through an important project titled “Exploring the Soil Health in Promoting Regenerative Agriculture in Jashore of Bangladesh,” this initiative is reshaping how farmers, researchers, and policymakers understand and interact with the earth.

Led by Professor Dr. M.A. Rahim of the Department of AGS and Co-Investigator Md. Fouad Hossain Sarker from the Department of Development Studies, the research unfolded across three key upazilas - Jashore Sadar, Jhikargachha, and Chaugachha between May and July 2025. The project wasn’t merely academic, it was deeply human. It sought to listen to the soil, observe the practices of local farmers, and reimagine agricultural sustainability through evidence-based, regenerative methods.

 

Collaboration with Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI) for Resource Sharing

DIU has formed a strategic partnership with the Bangladesh Agricultural Research Institute (BARI) through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that focuses on agricultural research, technology transfer, and innovation. This collaboration allows local farmers to benefit from DIU’s research facilities, gaining access to modern agricultural technologies and scientific advancements. The partnership fosters knowledge sharing and provides farmers with the tools they need to adopt sustainable farming practices and enhance crop productivity​.
