the background story

Established on 1 July 2020, Agro Art is a social enterprise situated on 4 acres in Tainfa (Mouza 291), Kalar Jhiri, Langri Para, Alikadam, Bandarban. The project combines modern, technology- driven farming with contemporary artistic practices, cultivating around 3,000 high-yield fruit trees alongside various vegetables and crops in a comprehensive system. Initially conceived as a community response to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the initiative involves local Bengali and diverse indigenous communities in sustainable farm management and innovative value addition. The driving force behind this initiative is artist Monjur Ahmed, who co-founded it with artist Tanjil Fatema Tushi, along with early collaborators Sifatuddaula and Nasir Uddin. Pran Prokritir Kabbo promotes the integration of art, science, and agriculture to create new livelihood opportunities and foster entrepreneurship. By linking indigenous knowledge and hill culture production with the Creative Economy framework, the project aims to generate employment and contribute to sustainable development in the community residing in the Hill Tracts of Bangladesh.
