Background Information Under the "Input Distribution Bangladesh" project, FAO is supporting 4050 households, with 70% of the population being women, who are mostly smallholder farmers whose production, supply-chain, and household nutrition were impacted by the COVID-19 crisis of Dhaka North City Corporation with agricultural inputs and tools such as different varieties of vegetable seeds, vermicompost, silos, sped, watering cans, seedling trays, seed planter trays, plant support nets, and capacity-building trainings on safe vegetable production. The goal of the training and seed distribution was to encourage safe vegetable production in urban and peri-urban areas, make people more aware of how important it is to use good quality seeds and organic fertilizer for safe and high-quality vegetable production, and get people to eat more fresh vegetables at home. Agriculture production experts from the Department of Agricultural Extension and senior professors from Sher-e-Bangla Agricultural University (SAU) led agricultural input training for safe food production as part of the project.
