The New Agriculture Movement (Bangla: Nayakrishi) is an agricultural movement in Bangladesh that opposes the use of Western pesticides and genetically altered seeds.

The Movement began in response to environmental hazards that were believed to have been started by the use of insecticides and nematicides in the growing of crops.

In addition to health concerns the movement strongly promotes organic farming. This is seen as both furthering self-sufficiency and distancing Bangladesh from Western development firms and the International Monetary Fund.
