Keywords:
Climate & Environmental Changes, Rice Farming, Resilience, Dietary HabitsAbstract
The production of food based on rice plays a pivotal role in ensuring food security, socio-political stability, and economic development in Bangladesh. Nevertheless, the country faces substantial challenges to achieving sustainable rice production due to climate and environmental changes. The production of food based on rice plays a pivotal role in ensuring food security, socio-political stability, and economic development in Bangladesh. Nevertheless, the country faces substantial challenges to achieving sustainable rice production due to climate and environmental changes. This comprehensive exploration delves into the intricate dynamics of rice production environments worldwide, with a specific focus on Bangladesh. The study navigates through diverse global rice frontiers, meticulously examining factors that shape rice farming, encompassing terrain, hydro morphology, and agroclimatic conditions. In Bangladesh, where rice holds strategic significance in dietary habits, the intricate interplay of production, consumption, and environmental challenges unfolds. The investigation scrutinizes Bangladesh's rice production landscape, unveiling a pivotal role in global rice dynamics. Despite being the third-largest contributor to global rice production, Bangladesh grapples with challenges such as low national yield, climate change impacts, and evolving environmental conditions. The study scrutinizes the historical and projected climate changes in Bangladesh, emphasizing the susceptibility to rising temperatures, altered rainfall patterns, and extreme climatic events. The impacts of sea level rise and salinization on coastal rice farming emerge as critical concerns, posing threats to livelihoods and food security. In navigating the diverse rice ecosystems of Bangladesh, the study unveils vulnerable regions and associated climatic stresses, shedding light on the implications for major stressed ecosystems such as drought-prone areas, low-lying basins, and saline coastal zones. Furthermore, the research underscores the potential impacts of environmental changes on rice production and farming systems, elucidating shifts in cropping patterns, crop choices, and the intricate interplay between climate factors and agricultural practices. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders, facilitating a nuanced understanding of the global and local intricacies of rice production. As Bangladesh stands at the intersection of global rice dynamics, the study underscores the urgency of adopting sustainable measures to address environmental challenges, enhance resilience, and secure future rice yields. This exploration serves as a guide for navigating the complex terrain of rice frontiers, offering a roadmap for sustainable rice production in Bangladesh and beyond.
