HSBC, Solidaridad to advance climate-resilient soybean farming

Business Desk:

HSBC has provided philanthropic support to Solidaridad Network Asia to promote climate-resilient soybean farming through the project “Improving Prosperity and Sustainability of Bangladesh Feed and Oil Industry through Soybean Farming” in the coastal region of Bangladesh.

The initiative equips farmers to respond to the challenges of rising salinity and shifting weather patterns, helping safeguard livelihoods and the nation’s food security.

Under this initiative, more than 40,000 farmers across 42,000 hectares are now cultivating high-yielding, short-duration, and saline-tolerant soybean varieties.

Crops enrich the soil through natural nitrogen fixation while delivering stronger harvests and higher incomes, building long-term resilience to environmental challenges.
