Overview
This project aimed to increase the profitability and sustainability of intensive and emerging cropping systems in Bangladesh through improved nutrient management.
Cropping intensification underpins food security in Bangladesh. This raises questions about whether current nutrient management practices can achieve continued profitability and sustainability, which is the focus of this project.
This project is also in line with the shift in the Australia–Bangladesh country strategy towards a farming systems approach with broader food security goals. This approach includes research on conservation agriculture, farm mechanisation, saline land management and adaptation to climate change, particularly in rice–wheat and rice–maize systems.
This project will be co-funded and managed between ACIAR and the Krishi Gobeshona Foundation with the aim of strengthening both the impacts on farms and research capacity within Bangladesh.
