The livelihoods of wetland (Haor) communities living in northeastern region of Bangladesh are largely dependent on agriculture.

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.

This study, based on a primary survey conducted in Bangladesh in 2016, assesses the impact of contract farming in broiler production on profits and the adoption of food safety measures at the farm level.

The frequency of natural disasters, especially storms and floods, has been increasing globally over the last several decades.

It is widely acknowledged that unmitigated risks provide a disincentive for otherwise optimal investments in modern farm inputs.

This brief summarizes an in-depth study on gendered aspects of willingness to pay for index-based agricultural insurance in Bangladesh.
