About the Cover

Agricultural enterprises in Bangladesh are highly vulnerable to extreme and aberrant weather conditions. To face such threats of climate change farmers utilize their own knowledge or practices that varies for different geographies. To boost production several scientific innovations are evolved and disseminated by the service providers in recent times. However, literatures suggest that traditional local technologies offer solutions to numerous climate change impacts. The importance of such local technologies has not been assessed holistically from the perspective of climate-smart agriculture (CSA). Therefore, the aim of the study is to explore the prospects for promoting indigenous technologies along with the dissemination of recent innovations by extension agencies for sustainable food production as well as CSA. The study was based on the qualitative data collected from primary and secondary sources from climate hotspots of Bangladesh.
