摘要
位于世界最大洪泛平原之上的孟加拉国是全球受气候变化影响最强烈的国家之一。本项目团队与孟加拉西部两个贫困的村庄合作,计划建立具有成本效益的基础设施,以提高当地的抗灾韧性和农业生物多样性。通过建立当地种子中心,每个村庄都能够形成一套包括种子银行、农业教育体系和妇女权利保障体系在内的新系统,以应对频发的洪灾、旱灾和农作物歉收。项目采用了本土野生品种,对政府提供的有限品种进行了补充和支持。这种做法一方面旨在满足农业的生物安全要求,另一方面在政府扶持项目不稳定的情况下,也能保障社区需求。这些建造成本仅1875.95美元的种子中心成为了景观设计从微观尺度上应对气候变化、促进当地社区的社会经济发展的有力工具。
Built on the world's largest floodplain, Bangladesh is a country under immediate threat of climate change. This project works with two impoverished and rural communities in western Bangladesh by equipping them with a cost-efficient means for disaster resilience and agricultural biodiversity. By constructing local community seed centers, each community can implement a new system of seed banking, agricultural education, and women's rights as a means to defend against increased flood rates, droughts, and crop failure. Local and wild seed varieties are championed over government seeds as a means for agricultural bio-security and to ensure the stability of community needs in the face of unstable government assistance programs. The USD 1,875.95 Seed Center continues to push the ability of landscape architecture to perform with communities as a tool of social and economic improvement and development in the face of climate change at the micro-scale.
