dc.descriptionClimate change poses a formidable challenge to agricultural production in coastal regions of Bangladesh that rely primarily on rainfed, paddy production systems. The confluence of rising sea levels, erratic precipitation patterns, and saline intrusion exacerbates the vulnerability of these agricultural systems, threatening the livelihoods of millions of farmers. In response to these challenges, the Ministry of Agriculture of Bangladesh, with financing from the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and technical assistance of the FAO Country Office (FAO-TA), implements the Smallholder Agriculture Competitiveness Project (SACP). The overall objective of SACP is to increase farmers’ incomes and livelihood resilience through demand-led productivity investments, crop diversification and increased market linkages. This will be achieved through implementation of three components: Component 1 focuses on enhanced production of high-value crops (HVCs) and technology adoption; Component 2 focuses on processing and marketing of HVCs; and Component 3 invests in climate-resilient surface water management.
