Currently, the commercial Accepted: 23 June 2021 actors are involved in the aquaculture systems due to the availability of Published Online: 30 June 2021 production technologies and inputs. This paper aims to explore how the commercialization and privatization of floodplain aquaculture become Keywords: the cause of the sufferings of the natural resource-dependent people and Blue revolution biodiversity loss in the floodplains. Now, Influential people hold control of the common pool floodplains and restricted the access of the Small-Scale Biodiversity Fishers (SSF) to manage the aquaculture. Our findings suggest that the SSF, Small-scale fisher for whom the seasonal floodplains were an important source of livelihood, Fisheries management their livelihood has been destroyed and overall wellbeing have been negatively affected. Besides that, lending enough evidence to the increased Food security inequality, a new group of poor has emerged. Because instead of ensuring Gender relation the welfare of SSF, Bangladesh government has leased the floodplain lands Access rights to the powerful rich people. In addition to growing inequalities, natural resource degradation has welcomed social vulnerabilities.

BACKGROUND Eco-Social Development Organization (ESDO) has started its journey in 1988 with a noble vision to stand in solidarity with the poor and marginalized people. Being a peoples' centered organization, we envisioned for a society which will be free from inequality and injustice, a society where no child will cry from hunger and no life will be ruined by poverty. Over the last thirty years of relentless efforts to make this happen, we have embraced new grounds and opened up new horizons to facilitate the disadvantaged and vulnerable people to bring meaningful and lasting changes in their lives. During this long span, we have adapted with the changing situation and provided the most time-bound effective services especially to the poor and disadvantaged people. Taking into account the government development policies, we are currently implementing a considerable number of projects and programs including micro-finance program through a community focused and people centered approach to accomplish government’s development agenda and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN as a whole.

  • Economics of Aquaculture Feeding Practices in Selected Asian Countries Economics of Aquaculture Feeding Practices in Selected Asian Countries
    ISSN 0429-9345 505 FAO FISHERIES TECHNICAL PAPER 505 Economics of aquaculture feeding practices in selected Asian countries Economics of aquaculture feeding practices in selected Asian countries This technical paper provides an analysis of the economic implications of, and the reasons for, adopting various feeding practices for different fish species and aquaculture systems in Asia. It consists of case studies in six Asian countries (Bangladesh, China, India, the Philippines, Thailand and Viet Nam) and an overall synthesis ending with conclusions and recommendations. The systems studied include extensive/traditional, semi-intensive and intensive farms for a number of different species including sutchi and pangasiid catfishes (Bangladesh and Viet Nam), hybrid catfish (Thailand), carp polyculture (India and China), prawn and milkfish polyculture (the Philippines). The work identifies the principal input costs, assesses the economic rates of return (gross and net margins), returns to labour, land and capital, gross and net total factor productivity, and break-even prices and production. For the most part, intensive farms applying industrial feeds attained the highest economic returns, although not necessarily the highest benefits. In many cases, feed costs were extremely high, accounting for over 80 percent of the total. Feed cost, feeding rate, stocking rate, recovery or survival rate and fertilizer cost were identified as the key variables in influencing production. Use of intensive farming was consistent with strong farmer education and good extension practices. It is expected that the results of these studies will assist in adopting appropriate feed management strategies depending on the availability of inputs and the level of technical know-how of the farmers.

  • Faecal Sludge, Organic Fertilizer, Pit Latrine, Field Trial
    Faecal Sludge Management in small towns: BRAC WASH Initiative B. Evans, L. A. Fletcher, M. A. Camargo-Valero, S. Balasubramanya, C. K. Rao, S. Fernando , R. Ahmed, Md. A. Habib, N. S. M. Asad , M. M. Rahman, K. B. Kabir, M.H. Emon, D. Dey, M.K. Barua, Md. A. Islam Abstract Faecal sludge management is the second generation challenge of sanitation. Households of the small towns of Bangladesh mostly depend on single pit latrines. A research was done to find suitable solutions for reuse of this latrine content and ensure safe sanitation. The aim of this research was to provide scientific evidence to support the commercial viability of collecting and composting faecal sludge for use in agriculture. This research includes analysis of appropriate pump options to clean single pits and mode of transportation. The second step was to find proper drying and co-composting procedure for pathogen inactivation and nutrient enrichment to reuse the sludge as organic fertilizer or soil conditioner. Pathogen- free fertilizer was produced following the developed drying process. This study also includes the preparation of pellets and biochars from the sludge. This study reveals the idea of the users about reuse of sludge and willingness to pay for that. The study was concluded with a field trial on spinach to check the capacity of faecal sludge to be used as organic fertilizer. For this study, sludge sample was collected from 5 sub-districts of Bangladesh. The trial composting plant was established in an organic fertilizer production facility near Dhaka. This study revealed the opportunity of faecal sludge reuse in the agricultural sector of Bangladesh.

  • The Role of Union Parishad in Rural Dispute Resolution in Bangladesh: an Evaluation in the Light of People’S Perception
    Series IV, Volume 3, No. 1, March 2013 The Role of Union Parishad in Rural Dispute Resolution in Bangladesh: an Evaluation in the Light of People’s Perception Bashir Ahmed Mohammad Tarikul Islam Jahangirnagar University, Dhaka, Bangladesh Introduction Dispute resolution refers to methods used by trained neutrals to help people to communicate more clearly, negotiate effectively, develop and evaluate solutions, or resolve conflicts. Neutrals do not take sides or represent the parties. In recent decades, dispute resolution, as an interdisciplinary field, has attracted individuals from backgrounds like human resources, law and social work. In Bangladesh, local justice is located at the juncture of two of the streams of judicial processes. One of these is the rule of law: that is the supremacy of the formal power exercised by the government in accordance with well-established and clearly written rules, regulations, and legal principles through established court system. For any government, the highest aspiration is to establish the rule of law - as the fundamental structure of governance. The other stream of justice is the long-standing local traditions. In past decades, Bangladeshi political elites have pledged to provide local communities with a greater share of the responsibilities of governing. Different action plans or mission visions of the government testify to Studies on Asia this pledge.1 This is equally visible in efforts to involve local people in dispensing justice, especially in rural areas. The formal setting of local dispute resolution in Bangladesh is rich: it includes the traditional process of shalish, impressive civil society efforts to improve the quality and mechanism of shalish, and a somewhat less-explored provision for gram adalat or village courts.2 In addition to these two methods, Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR), the alternative method of helping people resolve legal problems before going to court, has emerged as a potential means of resolving disputes.
