| Summary: | Over the past two decades, Bangladesh has made significant strides in food production, particularly in rice, the country's primary crop (ADB, 2023). However, many people still lack access to a nutritious and diverse diet. Diets remain imbalanced, with rice contributing around 70% of total energy intake (BBS, 2010). The increased production of high-yielding cereals like rice, maize, and wheat has replaced more nutrient-rich cereals like millet, oats, and sorghum. New approaches are needed to produce nutrient-rich foods while using land efficiently. A farmers' participatory research trial was conducted in Chapainawabganj, and a research brief summarizes the results of the nutrition yield of diverse, intensified cropping systems compared to farmers’ common practices from 2022–23 in Chapainawabganj, Bangladesh.
