Agricultural development projects increasingly aim to improve health and nutrition outcomes, often by engaging women.

Excess agricultural nitrogen, mainly from manure and chemical fertilizers, is a primary source of nutrient pollution and presents serious environmental threats to natural ecosystems and human health.

The MitigatePlus: Low-Emission Food Systems Initiative aims to contribute to low-emission food systems development and reduce net annual greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE) from food systems.

La iniciativa MitigatePlus: Sistemas Alimentarios Bajos en Emisiones tiene como objetivo contribuir a la reducción de las emisiones anuales de gases de efecto invernadero (GEI) en los sistemas alimentarios.

Bangladesh has excellent conditions for rice production, with production possible during up to three seasons in a year.

Agricultural production in Bangladesh has undergone dramatic changes over the past several decades.

We develop an analytical framework based on the work of Akerlof and Kranton (2000) and use it to examine how identity – proxied by agreement with statements reflecting patriarchal notions of gender roles – affects the trade-off between the time wo

Climate change will have an impact on natural resources, water being one of them, affecting the availability of water including increasing the intensity of floods and droughts.

This paper analyzes gender differences in awareness and adoption of climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices using data from a survey administered to men and women within the same households in southwestern Bangladesh.

Food security in Bangladesh has improved in recent years, but the country is now facing a double burden of malnutrition while also being highly vulnerable to climate change.

The intensification of crop production has been identified as one of the major drivers of environmental degradation.

As COVID-19 vaccines are becoming available, governments will need to assess the number and location of the most vulnerable people within their populations.

In anticipation of the development of a safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine—the distribution of which will be a complex and sensitive issue—governments will need to assess the number and location of the most vulnerable people within their populati

Imbalanced application of fertilizers is a major fiscal and environmental problem in South Asia.

Climate change will likely affect several of the dimensions that determine people’s food security status in Bangladesh, from crop production to the availability and accessibility of food products.

The expanded use of surface water for irrigation, intensified farm management, and double cropping have been highlighted by the Government of Bangladesh as policy priorities and development imperatives in the coastal region.

This paper discusses the challenges associated with implementing time-use surveys among agricultural households in developing countries and offers advice on best practices for two common measurement methods: stylized questions and time diaries.

Ensuring that women’s contributions to food systems are recognized—by their families, communities, policymakers, and society more broadly—and that women can make strategic choices about their involvement in food systems has benefits for all of soc

Quantitative evidence presented in this report demonstrates that total public agricultural research and development (R&D) spending in South Asia has risen considerably since 2000.
