Kolkata Brings Back Lost Rice, Fish Varieties

Kolkata Brings Back Lost Rice, Fish Varieties

Imagine some special rice and fish that almost disappeared!

A group in Kolkata is bringing them back.

They're working with farmers to grow these old-fashioned grains and fish, using methods that are good for the planet.

They are selling them at a shop first, then in the city.

It helps keep the old types of food alive and gives farmers money.

The group also helps local fish by taking care of ponds.

They also have seed banks to save the seeds of other plants.
