In this aerial photograph taken on September 26, 2021, farmers wade in an inundated field past vegetables growing on seed beds, made of stack layers of water hyacinth and bamboo tied together by their roots to create a raft, in Mugarjhor some 200 kilometres (120 miles) south of Dhaka. Rising sea levels and violent flooding are already putting tens of millions of lives at risk in Bangladesh, but they bring another problem that threatens the entire nation: Water-logged land and high salinity in streams and soil are killing crops.
