Agriculture is the science and art of cultivating plants and livestock.[1] Agriculture was the key development in the rise of sedentary human civilization, whereby farming of domesticated species created food surpluses that enabled people to live in cities. The history of agriculture began thousands of years ago. After gathering wild grains beginning at least 105,000 years ago, nascent farmers began to plant them around 11,500 years ago. Pigs, sheep and cattle were domesticated over 10,000 years ago. Plants were independently cultivated in at least 11 regions of the world. Industrial agriculture based on large-scale monoculture in the twentieth century came to dominate agricultural output, though about 2 billion people still depended on subsistence agriculture into the twenty-first.

In Tcl-Technology we try to search and give information about the agriculture that is not traditional.

which are similar to hydroponic agriculture practices, i.e. floating agriculture, whereby plants can be grown on the water in a bio-land or floating bed of water hyacinth, algae or other plant residues.
This practice has traditional roots in practices dating back to the country’s for bearers. According to their needs, people in different parts of Bangladesh have adopted, modified and named this practice
differently (baira, boor, dhap, gathua, gatoni, geto, kandi and vasoman chash and floating agriculture).


Actually, floating agriculture practice is most successful in the coastal areas that are adjacent to the sea-bank areas,

which remain submerged for long periods, especially in the monsoon season, as well as the wetland

Besides the decorative benefit, roof top gardening may provide food, temperature control, hydrological benefits, architectural enhancement, habitats or corridors for wildlife, recreational opportunities, and in large scale it may even have ecological benefits. The practice of cultivating food on the rooftop of buildings is sometimes referred to as rooftop farming. Roof top gardening is usually done using green roof, hydroponics, aeroponics or air-dynaponics systems or container gardens.
