“…However, for increase sustainable food production, it is crucial to intensification and diversification of cropping systems in agriculture (Tilman et al 2011) [2]. Also, it is equally important for food security and sustainable nutritional balance for smallholders' farmers who particularly face the challenges especially socioeconomic difficulties [3][4][5].…”

One of the global challenges to sustainability in this age of climate change is how to sustain the growing population by providing services to increase food production from farmland. The purpose of this study was to investigate farmers' perceptions of agriculture adaptation strategies, acceptance of tuber crops as adoption in adverse climatic conditions and the constraints on them in relation to climate change. Finding from the study research will bring advantages for small-holder farmers with the community-based approach (PRA method) which may develop action plan, perception about the climate change in the case of 150 Upazila in 60 districts of Bangladesh. It is also demonstrated the farmers insights of climate change and agriculture adaptation tactics and their limitations on them in relation to climate change. Most of the participants didn't read or perceive {literacy rate in project area was 68.4% (MSVSB 2019, BBS)} such as climate change, global climate change, temperature change etc. as an issue or development and adaptation problem and expected given the restricted knowledge base community members had concerning climate change. About average percentage of the participant was thirty-three of men and twenty of women in a group from 150 Upazila in 60 districts who were concern about the board range of challenges that were summarized into six broad unranked categories. Key finding exposed that from PRA analysis, few of the farmers do understand climate to be dynamical issues, however, mostly participants did cultivation with different varieties with their seasonal patterns (i.e., longer and warmer dry seasons and shorter and a lot of intense rainy seasons) and ready to cultivate tuber crops in adverse climatically condition. It is evaluated and ranked the different ways to observed the cultivation of tuber crops which can contribution to climate change adaptation (scale ranging based on climate change adaptation and from very low to high potential). Mitigation and adaptation strategies and constraints, cropping systems incorporating risks and adaptations possibility assessment is a simultaneous study effort as climate change-resilient farming and cropping systems that undergo continuous changes with the changing environment, farming culture, and technological innovations. This study stated that farmer perception of global climate change was surveyed and compared to the actual acquaintance to observe that they might not much influence adaptation. Research outcome would be contributing to our inclusive understanding of climate change and adaptation among vulnerable in project area.

“…The growth in high-value agricultural product output, in turn, helped the sector grow at a faster rate [ 35 ]. In their study of coastal Bangladesh, Jamal et al [ 36 ] addressed the topic of subsistence adaptation to climate change. Despite being more profitable, vegetable-based systems entail labor-intensive processes, market entry restrictions, environmental hazards, and increased expenditures.…”

“…Climate change impacts in Bangladesh have the potential to greatly influence economic disparity, as indicated by several research (see Refs. [ 31 , 36 , 43 ]). However, there are areas of inquiry that have not been explored in the existing literature about the effect of rural transformation on income inequality in a country that heavily depends on agriculture.…”

“…In recent decades, Bangladesh has nearly achieved rice self-sufficiency through domestic rice production [26]. However, despite increasing production, there are still major, diverse challenges ahead, posing immediate and long-term risks to rice availability [27]. About 40 million people in Bangladesh remain severely food insecure and another 11 million suffer from acute hunger [28].…”

Rice-based food production is crucial for food security, socio-political stability, and economic development in Bangladesh. However, climate and environmental changes pose serious challenges to sustainable rice production in the country. This review paper critically reviews the status, challenges, and adaptation opportunities of Bangladeshi rice systems in changing environmental, demographic, and socio-economic settings. A mixed-methods approach (quantitative summary of secondary data on rice production, environmental changes, impact on rice productivity; and qualitative thematic synthesis) was used to review adaptation for resilient rice production. Significant agronomic and environmental challenges to rice-based cropping in Bangladesh are posed by rising temperatures, anomalous rainfall patterns, extreme weather, and increasing salinisation. Rice production, availability, and access have been further compromised by decreasing arable areas, labour shortages, crop diversification, and low profitability. Farmers are adapting through autonomous and centrally planned strategies such as efficient irrigation and input use, stress-tolerant cultivars, mechanisation, and income diversification. However, profitable and sustainable adaptation requires broader facilitation by the government (e.g., infrastructure, financial incentives) and agribusiness (e.g., extension services, contracting). This review paper recommends research and development support for efficient irrigation management and stress-tolerant cultivars, enabling policy initiatives, and equitable value chain participation. The insights of the review can be applied to policymakers to target policy design and decision-making for a sustainable rice system in years to come.
