Many people now cannot think of a home as complete without a rooftop farm. In the same way, Bangladeshis who have moved abroad are turning to farming to decorate their dream homes. Following the path of rooftop farming, Bengali yard farming is taking shape abroad.
Sirajganj
The Sirajganj town home of local member of parliament Habibe Millat is only a year old, but his wife Sharita Millat's rooftop farming has made the house complete.
Scarborough, Toronto
Likewise, many who have been devoted to rooftop farming at home since the 1980s or 1990s, or their next generation, are building yard farms abroad. The yard farm of Zahid Hussain and Alia Rahman, a couple living in the Scarborough area of Toronto, Canada, shows this. They enjoy all kinds of Bangladeshi vegetables and various foreign fruits from their yard.
They say their main inspiration to take up farming was a television programme.
