Farmers in Bangladesh are struggling to sustain their fields as the ongoing war tightens the fuel supply.
With fuel increasingly out of reach, uncertainty is shaping daily farming. Irrigation is disrupted, crops are under stress, and holding onto a livelihood is becoming harder by the day.
This is how a distant conflict is quietly reshaping lives and livelihoods across Bangladesh.
In Bangladesh, farmers are waking before dawn to stand in fuel lines, only to go home empty-handed. Fields are drying out, and the Boro rice crop, which feeds 60% of the country, needs water.
BRAC teams in Bangladesh built a solution: the Ponkhiraj, a mobile solar-powered irrigation pump that moves from farm to farm, no fuel needed. Each pump costs $8,132.
