Food security is the basic right for all human being. Although Bangladesh has significant achievements to ensure food secure and prevent hunger, the government is still working to meet the dietary deficiencies and nutritional needs of the vulnerable people through promoting sustainable agriculture and social safety net programs to ensure no one leaves behind. ADAMS Foundation has been implementing multidimensional development activities including agriculture from its inception period since1994. As a part of agricultural activities ADAMS implemented an agriculture based project titled “Cold Chain Bangladesh Alliance (CCBA)” supported by Winrock International, as a lead partner and funded by USAID.

Cold Chain Bangladesh Alliance (CCBA)

The project aimed at to reduce post-harvest losses, deliver high value agricultural products to market, improve availability of locally produced nutritious foods, and ultimately improve the livelihoods of farmers producing high value products and the objectives were to establish first integrated cold chain in order to reduce post-harvest losses; to deliver high value agricultural products to market; to improve availability of locally produced nutritious foods; and to improve the livelihoods of farmers producing high value products. Since the project was to aim at poor and marginal people, ADAMS has enjoyed enough to perform activities during the project period.
