Support to agricultural research for climate change adaptation in Bangladesh

BRAC is up scaling the research findings of the IRRI-managed a IFAD funded project “Support to agricultural research for climate change adaptation in Bangladesh (SARCCAB)” to facilitate adoption of improved farming systems to increase farm output and ability of small and marginal farmers to adapt to adverse effect of climate change and food price inflation.

The up scaling activities are integrated with crops and fisheries technologies into sustainable farming systems, in which 6 rice-based cropping patterns including integrated rice-fish-vegetable cultivation are being demonstrated in Batiaghata and Dacope upazilas(sub districts) of Khulna district since December 2010.
