Most farmers in the flood plains of Bangladesh shifted to Green Revolution agriculture during the sixties. Farmers began to face ever increasing problems as their survival base was being threatened. Gradually, a group of farmers developed an economically viable alternative to modern agriculture, community based organic farming, which is locally called Nayakrishi Andolon. Now, due to globalisation, the economic conditions for small farmers are deteriorating even further, and Nayakrishi Andolon is becoming a fast-growing movement of farmers.
