Bangladesh – Floating Farms

Have you ever heard of Bangladesh’s floating vegetable farms?  Well, for about nine months of the year, the country is faced with rainfall.  Additionally, it is about 60% home of Ganges-Brahmaputra Delta.  This is the largest river delta in the world.  While this region is very fertile and the crops tasty, farmers also struggle during the Monsoon period.  Therefore many of them travel far away from home to find work.
However, some farmers have been taught by their parents and grandparent how to make and work on a floating farm.  This way, farmers can sustain themselves and others during the difficult months.
