Adapting agriculture to climate change is vital for the welfare of farmers, and the nation's inclusive growth. However, increasing land fragmentation poses a significant barrier. It reduces production efficiency, threatens farmers' livelihoods, and hinders the adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices.
We are exploring data-driven solutions to address land fragmentation in Bangladesh. Our ongoing research focuses on cooperative farming as a potential national-scale solution—an approach that has proven effective at scale in countries such as India, Vietnam, Ethiopia, Rwanda, and Kenya, as well as at the local level within Bangladesh.
