This paper aims to identify the impact of rice-prawn gher farming in Bangladesh (a.k.a., gher farming) on the living standard of traditional rural areas. The introduction of rice-prawn gher farming in the country is called "Gher Revolution." This is because the farming style increases income, expands employment and empowers women, or in short, improves the living standard of people. However, the impact of gher farming on the living standard of people has not been studied. This study aims at examining the effect of the farming style from the viewpoint of food intake. Two villages were selected for the study, Bilpabra in Khulna District and Chanchra in Jessore District, the former being the village that introduced gher farming and the later as a control. A cross sectional farm survey was conducted between October and November in 2004, which found that rice-prawn gher farming has improved the living standard in Bilpabra. Specifically, the intake of animal protein in the village increased, which can be considered as improvement in the living standard of the whole village. However, the survey also indicated the existence of a gap in food intake in the village between farmers and non-farmers and among farmers.
