Agricultural and aquaculture transformation in southwest coastal Bangladesh

Climatic, salinity, cropping area, cost-benefit data were collected from primary and secondary sources. I collected secondary data from government agencies, websites and published materials. I collected primary data on farmers perception of climatic change, risks, adaptation, drivers of intensification, yield, price and cost-benefit from the study villages in southwest coastal Bangladesh. Multiple data collection activities such as focus group discussion, household case study, household questionnaire survey, key informant interviews were applied to collect primary data. Data were processed and analysed using statistical software (e.g. excel, R, @Risk). The collected data supported to answer the research questions. All data set were used to justify the viability of crop and aquaculture systems in salinity affected southwest coastal Bangladesh.
