Contributions of Agroforestry Practice Towards Reducing Poverty at Keshabpur Upazila of Jessore District – a Case Study J. Environ. Sci. & Natural Resources, 5(2): 267 - 274 , 2012 ISSN 1999-7361 Contributions of Agroforestry Practice Towards Reducing Poverty at Keshabpur Upazila of Jessore District – A Case Study M. W. Islam, M. M. Islam and M. N. Sadath Forestry and Wood Technology Discipline, Khulna University, Khulna 9208, Bangladesh Abstract The systematic agroforestry practice is being popular day by day in Jessore district of Bangladesh. Considering the situation, the present study aims to know the farmers’ attitude and perception about agroforestry practice and to find out the potentialities of agroforestry to reduce poverty at the study area viz., Keshabpur upazila of Jessore district. Mixed method by using semi- structured questionnaires was followed in the field survey. The results illustrated that the respondents preferred agricultural practice (average 58.45% of their total lands) as their major land use followed by homestead and agroforestry land uses (31.75%). Agroforestry was getting popularity as well as socially and ecologically acceptable at this area due to the diversified outcomes of this practice. The small land holders (possession >1 acre) were the most interested among the respondents to practice agroforestry. The less poor agroforestry farmers’ change of income was also higher than the poor farmers. The increased production and income facilitated the villagers to reduce their poverty to some extent and thus they had better access to their daily necessities which helped them to attain a minimal standard of living. Key words: Agricultural crops, Households, Income, Land use, Perennial crops, Perception Introduction (upper line) (Anon, 2010). As the population of this area is increasing day by day so agroforestry can be Bangladesh has 2.46 million ha of forestland covering an important land use system to meet the demand of about 17% of the country’s area. Bangladesh Forest forest produces and also to reduce the poverty for the Department (FD) controls, manages and protects all people of this region. Considering the background the state-owned forests except Unclassed Stated Forest objectives of the present study are to know the (USF) (FD, 2012). More than 90% of the state-owned farmers’ attitude and perception about agroforestry forest land is concentrated in 12 districts in the practice and to find out the potentialities of eastern and south-western regions of the country and agroforestry to reduce poverty at the study area. out of 64 districts, 28 districts have no state-owned forest at all (GoB, 1990). Besides the traditional Materials and Methods forestry practices in the forest lands, agroforestry practices in the croplands and homesteads play a vital Selection of study area: Keshabpur upazila or sub- roles in increasing tree coverage and to supply district (Fig. 1) of Jessore district (south-western part annual, perennial and animal products and services. of Bangladesh) under Khulna division is a potential Jessore is the district situated on the southwestern place for practicing agroforestry. A considerable part of Bangladesh (BBS, 2012). There is no natural portion of the population of this area is involved with forest in this region having only 15% of village forest agroforestry practice. So, Keshabpur upazila was (private-owned) which is too small to meet the selected as the study area purposively for the present demands of per capita consumption of timber and fire study. Three villages (Nuton Mulgram, Komorpur wood for the population (Devidson, 1984).

We surveyed 84 farmers of two sub-districts named Manirampur and Bagherpara under Jessore district in the south-west region of Bangladesh through using a questionnaire during the period of June to July 2013. It follows a multistage random sampling procedure for selecting respondents. The main objective of the study is to assess the socio-economic impact of Cropland Agroforestry (CAF) on farmers’ livelihood. The survey results reveal that CAF farmers’ socio-economic status is better than that of Non-Cropland Agroforestry (NCAF) or monoculture farmers. This study finds that housing pattern, level of education, land and other physical assets are significantly different between CAF and NCAF farmers. The mean annual household income of the surveyed CAF farmers is Tk. 0.19 million which is significantly higher (p<0.05) than that of the surveyed NCAF farmers. Household income also varies widely according to farm size and number of members in a household. The Weighted Mean Index (WMI) of five major indicators of farmer’s household livelihood situation reveals that CAF farmer’s household energy and food situation, affordability of education, medical and clothing expenditure is better than NCAF farmers.

  • Chapter 1 Introduction Main Report CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION
    CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION Main Report Chapter 1 Introduction Main Report CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background of the Study The Peoples Republic of Bangladesh has a population of 123 million (as of June 1996) and a per capita GDP (Fiscal Year 1994/1995) of US$ 235.00. Of the 48 nations categorized as LLDC, Bangladesh is the most heavily populated. Even after gaining independence, the nation repeatedly suffers from floods, cyclones, etc.; 1/3 of the nation is inundated every year. Shortage in almost all sectors (e.g. development funds, infrastructure, human resources, natural resources, etc.) also leaves both urban and rural regions very underdeveloped. The supply of safe drinking water is an issue of significant importance to Bangladesh. Since its independence, the majority of the population use surface water (rivers, ponds, etc.) leading to rampancy in water-borne diseases. The combined efforts of UNICEF, WHO, donor countries and the government resulted in the construction of wells. At present, 95% of the national population depend on groundwater for their drinking water supply, consequently leading to the decline in the mortality rate caused by contagious diseases. This condition, however, was reversed in 1990 by problems concerning contamination brought about by high levels of arsenic detected in groundwater resources. Groundwater contamination by high arsenic levels was officially announced in 1993. In 1994, this was confirmed in the northwestern province of Nawabganji where arsenic poisoning was detected. In the province of Bengal, in the western region of the neighboring nation, India, groundwater contamination due to high arsenic levels has been a problem since the 1980s.

P a g e | 1 Abstract Globalization has become one of the most significant phenomena in the world since the end of the cold war. Globalization especially the economic globalization has brought about new opportunities and opened dynamic windows for the people of the world based on the notion of liberalism, free market, easy access of goods and services. Although globalization has brought about some positive gains for individuals and society, it has caused negative impacts on the society called ‘the dark side of globalization’. It has created complex and multifaceted security problems and threats to the countries especially the developing countries like Bangladesh. Globalization has changed the nature and dynamics of crime although crime is not a new phenomenon in Bangladesh. The nature or pattern of crime has changed remarkably with the advent of globalization, modern technology and various modern devices, which pose serious security threats to the individuals, society and the country. Globalization has created easy access to conducting illegal trade such as small arms, illegal drugs and human trafficking and some violent activities such as kidnapping, theft, murder, around the world as well as in Bangladesh. It has developed the new trends of crimes, gun violence, drugs crime, and increasing number of juvenile convicts and heinous crimes committed in Bangladesh. Over the years, the number of organized murder crimes is increasing along with rape cases and pretty nature of crimes with the advent of globalization and information technology.
