Definition
This paper has presented and assessed the promising technologies and innovations to promote sustainable land management and climate-resilient agriculture in climate-vulnerable landscapes of Bangladesh (i.e., High Barind Tract (HBT), Chittagong Hill Tract (CHT), waterlogging, and salinity-prone areas). In the view of increasing intensity and frequency of extreme weather events combined with low socioeconomic situation, limited human and ecological coping mechanisms, and inadequate enabling conditions, climate-resilient technologies and innovations can reduce the vulnerability of the agriculture sector, enhance food security, and build landscape resilience in Bangladesh. The paper recommends that, climate-resilient agricultural technologies of Bangladesh need to be designed and promoted considering the geographical situation, hydroclimatic condition, natural resource availability, and ecological vulnerability. No technology, innovation or management practice will sustain...
