🌿 Areas of Leadership

1. Regenerative Agriculture & Soil Health

Durlave develops and promotes regenerative farming principles—mulching, reduced tillage, diverse crop rotations, cover cropping, and use of fortified organic fertilizers—to help farmers maintain soil fertility while reducing chemical dependence.

2. Organic Fertilizer Innovation

He leads research and practical ventures on producing fortified organic fertilizers enriched with:

• Seaweed biomass

• Dolomite

• Trichoderma spp.

• Bacillus subtilis

• Biochar and P-enhancers

His work supports farmers in transitioning to balanced nutrient management.

3. Blue Economy Linkages

Through his research on seaweed compost and coastal biomass utilization, he contributes to circular bioeconomy models in Cox’s Bazar and Saint Martin—creating high-value agricultural inputs from marine resources.

4. Rural Enterprise – Balanced Fertilizer Doctors

As founder of the Balanced Fertilizer Doctors initiative, he promotes:

• Advanced fertilizer blending

• Farmer advisory services

• Training on nutrient use efficiency

• Village-level soil testing and prescription mapping

This model supports farmers in adopting balanced, cost-effective fertilization.

5. “One Village, One Tourist Destination” Pioneer

Durlave has championed community-based agro-tourism and rural tourism, transforming local uniqueness—such as mustard flower landscapes, cultural heritage, and regenerative farmlands—into sustainable tourism assets.

6. Youth Leadership & Community Impact

He works closely with cooperatives, women’s groups, and youth teams to co-create livelihood pathways based on agriculture, environment, and local enterprise development.
