[Stoves] Off Topic: Raised Bed Agriculture for Sunderbans

[acparker at xmission.com]

Dr. Karve and Mr. Chaudhury,

I am interested in knowing more about raised bed agriculture as applied
to brackish mangrove estuaries.  I am working with a population in Cross
River State, Nigeria, that is being permanently relocated to seasonal
fishing camps on low lying mangrove islands.  Being now cut off from
their high ground farms and gardens, I am concerned that they will be
unable to maintain a balanced diet when they have no money to purchase
supplemental food.


Thank you,

Andrew Parker
