ABSTRACT
Mennonite Central Committee (MCC) is the international service agency of the Mennonite and Brethren in Christ churches of North America. Established in 1922 to provide relief aid to Russian Mennonites after the Russian Revolution, the mission of MCC worldwide has expanded from providing relief and rehabilitation in times of disaster to working in sustainable development, self-reliance and social justice. Since beginning work in Bangladesh in 1970, MCC’s technically qualified volunteers and staff have conducted farmer participatory research and collaborated with government researchers and institutions for agricultural development. From 1982, MCC in Bangladesh has pursued a target group approach aimed at the small and marginal subsistence farmer.
