In line with the government’s directive of making the best use of every inch of land to tackle the possible food crisis due to COVID-19 pandemic, the Ministry of Agriculture has planned to cultivate vegetables at the courtyards of 650,000 houses across the country.    "As per the directive of the Prime Minister, vegetables will be cultivated at the courtyards and rooftops of every house under Family Agriculture Scheme. At the moment, the target is to bring the courtyards of 6.5 lakh houses under vegetable farming," Agriculture Secretary Nasiruzzaman told UNB.   Initially, Nasiruzzaman said, Tk 20-30 crore will be allocated for the project. "The amount will be increased, if necessary. As little as one percent land of each house will be required for vegetable garden.”
