Agriculture in Bangladesh

Bangladesh is an agrarian country. About 20% GDP comes from agriculture. Few years ago, it was a food deficit country but at present it stands as a food sufficient country. On the other hand, it is a densely populated country. Main food is rice. Also it is most vulnerable in Climate Change issues.

BADC is mandated to monitor two important Climate hazards:

Groundwater table monitoring;
Saline water intrusion monitoring

Collected data is used to make information to give message to the people, researcher and also to the Government through publication

booklet, bulletin and 3D-DEM map.
