  Alleviating climate change impacts in rural Bangladesh through efficient agricultural interventions

  RiceClima, 2013

  Rice is the staple food in Bangladesh and crucial for the food security in the country. The alluvial soil deposits, through an extensive river network across Bangladesh, have contributed to a fertile land with high rice productivity potential. However, the frequent occurrence of floods, salinity and drought has repeatedly threatened the food security especially in the rural areas.

  Impact of climate change on development phases of winter rice in Bangladesh

  2012

  Impact of climate change on development phases of rice is one of the major concern issues due to yield reduction. In the present study, development phases of winter rice (boro rice) of BR3 and BR14 varieties for the years 2008, 2030, 2050 and 2070 have been simulated for 12 major rice growing Agro-Ecological Zones (AEZs) of Bangladesh using DSSAT model.

  Future Climate Change and Moisture Stress: Impact on Crop Agriculture in South-Western Bangladesh

  Unnayan Onneshan, 2009

  Scenario of Moisture Stress in soils and its effects on major crops in South-western region of Bangladesh (grid cell: 22.50N - 25.0N, 87.50E - 90.00ooE) has been assessed based on climate scenarios for two projection years 2030 and 2075 compared to the 1990 baseline. The climate scenarios were developed using an ensemble of 15 GCM outputs by using MAGICC/SCENGEN version 5.3 model of the IPCC.

  Land, farming, livelihoods, and poverty: rethinking the links in the rural South

  University of Durham, 2006

  Livelihoods in the rural South are becoming increasingly separated from farming and land. Non-farm opportunities have expanded and increased the levels of mobility leading to the delocalisation of livelihoods. This requires a reconsideration of some old questions regarding how best to achieve pro-poor development in the Rural South.
