Abstract

Climate change is expected to have significant environmental, economic, and social consequences for coastal farmers whose livelihood is dependent on nature. Agriculture is their main occupation and climate has a great impact on agriculture. As the economy of Bangladesh mainly hangs on agriculture so the impact is shown in the economy of this country. The factors that influence the adoption of climate-smart agriculture technology (improved stress-tolerant cultivars) in rice production in Bangladesh's Satkhira District were investigated in this study. Climate-Smart Agriculture refers to agricultural strategies that increase efficiency, improve resilience (adaptation), and reduce greenhouse gas emissions (mitigation). This study based on 100 rice-farming households from three villages in the sub-district of Tala Upazila in the coastal district of Satkhira, Bangladesh, an area likely to face increasing salinization due to relative sea-level rise, to determine the factors explaining which households were more likely to convert to salt-tolerant varieties of rice. This study found that higher levels of education, more farming experience, subsistence farming, access to credit and smaller family size were all significant predictors. The DAE, NGOs, policymakers, and government should keep attention to Education, Experience in farming, eating from own food and Family size, and Access to credit. It is possible to by increasing literacy and availability of information in the coastal area.
