Climate-smart agriculture and food security in climate-vulnerable coastal areas of Bangladesh
The issue of global climate change is increasingly worrisome, particularly for countries heavily reliant on agriculture. To reduce the negative impact of climate change on agriculture, farmers of Bangladesh started adopting different climate smart agriculture (CSA) practices. The CSA sustainably inc...

| description | The issue of global climate change is increasingly worrisome, particularly for countries heavily reliant on agriculture. To reduce the negative impact of climate change on agriculture, farmers of Bangladesh started adopting different climate smart agriculture (CSA) practices. The CSA sustainably increases productivity, resilience, and food security, which can contribute to the achievement of a number of sustainable development goals (SDGs). However, the adoption of CSA is low especially in the climate-vulnerable coastal areas of Bangladesh. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify the factors affecting the adoption of CSA and its influence on coastal household's food security. A total of 327 sample farmers from three coastal districts of Bangladesh were interviewed. The collected data were then analyzed by using the binary probit and ordered probit model. The findings indicated that highest 65 % of farmers adopted early planting of rice as one of CSA practices. The adoption of CSA practices positively affected by the household annual income, extension services and awareness regarding CSA practices. Moreover, the adopters of CSA were more food secure than non-adopters. For instance, adoption of one additional CSA practice leads to an increase in the likelihood of being food secure by 4.3 %. In terms of policy perspective, the adoption of CSA in the coastal areas can be increased through creation of employment opportunities, increasing access to extension services, and broadcasting of CSA-related programs on mass media. |
