Farmers carry bicycles laden with mangoes to sell at a market in Kansat, Chapainawabganj, Bangladesh on April 23, 2024. The use of bicycles reduces transportation costs for them who can carry up to 400 mangoes on each bike. The mangoes are loaded in bicycles and pushed all the way through a forest to the Biggest Mango Market – Kansat. After picking the fruit from the trees, mango growers take them to the market by hanging two baskets on either side of their bicycles. Carrying the load by cycles is laborious as each basket contains about 40kg of mangoes. Mango – the king of fruits in Bangladesh – is one of the most delicious and popular fruits during the sunny summer. (Photo by Joy Saha/ZUMA Press Wire/Rex Features/Shutterstock)

The practice of rearing pigs in a garbage dump in Narayanganj, Bangladesh on May 7, 2024 where they are mainly fed dirt from garbage piles, is a concerning and unhygienic method of pig farming. These pigs are usually raised to meet the demand for meat. Feeding pigs with such materials can pose various risks to both the animals and consumers.
