FoSHoL is a 4-year project working for the improvement of food security and livelihoods of agriculture dependent resource-poor households mainly small and marginal farmers. This project is funded by the European Commission (EC), implemented by 3 international NGOs namely ActionAid Bangladesh, CARE Bangladesh and Practical Action (former ITDG) and coordinated by International Rice Research Institute (IRRI).

The 3 implementing NGOs will be responsible for technology identification and dissemination through appropriate dissemination methods. They will also work for capacity building of the farmers (men & women) and partners (NGOs & CBOs), facilitating structural issues (marketing, advocacy, linkages etc.) and communication of the learning of sustainability (at different levels).
