Climate Change, Agricultural Performance, and Resilience in Bangladesh: An Empirical Analysis
Climate Change and Agricultural Resilience in Bangladesh
Keywords:
Climate Resilience, Agriculture, Environmental Change, Trend Analysis,Environmental factor.Abstract
As the impacts of climate change grow more severe, Bangladesh is pioneering green agriculture to secure its agricultural future. This approach embraces sustainable farming practices, enabling farmers to adapt to shifting environmental conditions while safeguarding food security and protecting natural resources. Climate change is significantly impacting Bangladesh's agriculture sector, leading to reduced crop yields, increased salinity, and shifts in rainfall patterns. These changes threaten food security and livelihoods, particularly for coastal communities. However, Bangladesh is also pioneering green agriculture and adaptation strategies to mitigate these effects. Climate change poses significant challenges to Bangladesh's agriculture sector, but the country is actively working towards adaptation and mitigation strategies to build resilience and ensure food security. By promoting green agriculture, implementing water management techniques, and supporting farmers with the necessary resources and knowledge, Bangladesh can strive to overcome the challenges of climate change and build a more sustainable agricultural future. In this paper the author analysis the impact of environmental change on agriculture of Bangladesh. The study used trend analysis, Chi square test, and regression analysis for data analysis purposes.
