A strong example of community-centered adaptation is the use of floating gardens in flood-prone areas of Bangladesh, where local farmers grow vegetables on buoyant beds during flood seasons. This practice is based on traditional knowledge, reflects community values, and directly addresses flooding-related food insecurity while assessing local vulnerability to prolonged inundation. It has been implemented collaboratively with NGOs and communities, helping reduce conflicts over resources, meet local livelihood needs, and enhance adaptive capacity through improved food security and income diversification.
