Overview
This project aimed to sustainably increase cropping intensity and productivity in the salt-affected coastal zones of the Ganges Delta by mitigating risk and scaling-out profitable cropping system intensification practices achieved through integrated soil, water and crop management.
This project is to support continuation of field programs during transition from Phase 1 to Phase 2 of a program of research on cropping systems in the salt-affected coastal zone of the Ganges Delta.
The project is following on from successful completion of the project ‘Cropping system intensification in the salt-affected coastal zones of Bangladesh and West Bengal, India (LWR/2014/073). The second phase project will aim to develop climate resilient management and cropping systems which increase cropping intensity and productivity, tailored to target different land classes based on remote-sensing based characterizations across the coastal zones of the Ganges Delta.
