Tel.:+ +8801714897195 INTRODUCTION Bangladesh is one of the most vulnerable countries (MVC) Bangladesh is extremely vulnerable to climate change in the world due to climate-induced natural disaster, and because of riverbank erosion, recurring floods, cyclone, the impact of disaster resulting from ecological destruction salinity intrusion, and tidal surge (Hossain et al., 2016; cause a severe hazard to livelihoods and the economic Hossain et al., 2019). These natural hazards adversely affect development of the country (Hossain et al., 2015; Sarker et the whole ecosystem, and also lead to loss of human life and al., 2019). It is situated the country in the low-lying Ganges- shelters, or the resources essential for their livelihoods Brahmaputra river delta, which are fertile plains in the (Ahamed et al., 2012; Sadekin et al., 2018b; Sarker et al., world. Concurrently, it is most vulnerable to river erosion, 2020b). According to the IPCC report (2007), agriculture is floods, and cyclones (Islam, 2012; Hossain et al., 2016; a dominant sector of Bangladesh's economy, and the Sadekin et al. 2018a;). The southwestern part of southwestern part of the country is very fertile for growing Int. J. Agric. Pol. Res. 56 rice, which supports most livelihoods. Due to the recurring al., 2018). Thus, tree plantation will affect local and regional coastal flood, water and soil are converted into gher land water bodies and subsequent aquaculture activities (shrimp cultivation) (Ahmed, 2013). For example, in both (Potapov et al., 2017). The southwestern coastal region of Khulna and Satkhira districts,50% of cultivable agricultural Bangladesh has the cultivable mixed farmland that has been land has been shifted into shrimp farming to resume changed gradually into gher land with no tress plantation livelihoods (IPCC, 2007). Zarin (2015) found that shrimp on dike. Besides, a number of gher land farmers have no farming (gher) upsets the female labor livelihoods and interest in planting trees on their gher dike because of the affect their income and occupation, food consumption and negative perception of co-management of trees fish and also lead to the hazardous working environment. Hoque et crop cultivation. The factors like dike width, ownership of al. (2018) reported that the rapid rise of the aquaculture the gher land, gher management, and gher size are industry (shrimp gher) due to social-ecological changes and responsible for the interest in planting trees on gher dike climate change has significantly affected the livelihoods of (Rahman et al., 2013). coastal communities in the southwestern region of Khulna, Bangladesh. Rahman et al. (2013), investigated the constant and unregulated growth of shrimp farm (gher) has MATERIALS AND METHODS immense impacts on human health, environment, and sustainability. Study area Over time, the land use pattern in Bangladesh has been transforming. Although Bangladesh is considered a land- The present study was carried out at Moikhali village under scarce country and per capita cultivated land is only 12.5 Dumuria Upazila of Khulna district, Bangladesh, which is decimals (Rahman et al., 2014; Al-Amin, 2018).The per bordered in the north by Manirampur, Abhaynagar and capita cultivable land is decreasing as the total population Phultala Upazilas, on the south by Batiaghata and continues to increase (Islam et al., 2019).To meet the basic Paikgachha Upazilas, in the east by Khan Jahan Ali, demand for overpopulation, exploitation of natural khalishpur and Sonadanga than as, in the west by resources, and environmental degradation has appeared Batiaghata, Tala and Keshabpur Upazilas. The Dhumuria (Hossain, 2001). The land productivity of Bangladesh is Upazila is located between 22°39' and 22°56' N and 89°15' comparatively low compared to other countries around the and 89°32' E (Figure 1) with a total area of 454.23 km2 and world (Mondal, 2008; Kibria and Jashimuddin, 2012), and about 25 km southwest of the Khulna district, headquarters to maximize the land productivity, the farmers use the of the southwestern part of Bangladesh. The climatic existing farmland in the diverse way (Nicholls et al., 2018). condition of the study area comprises an annual average Khulna is located in the southwestern part of Bangladesh, maximum temperature and the minimum temperature to where cultivable land use pattern has been changing in the be 35.5°C (95.9°F), and 12.5°C (54.5°F). The annual average last few decades drastically (Mondal, 2008; Sadekin et al., rainfall is 1710 mm, and the soil condition is alluvial 2018c). This change has been occurring mainly to expand floodplain. The four main seasons are pre-monsoon the shrimp culture. Majority of the cultivable agriculture (March-May), monsoon (June-September), post-monsoon land has been converted into aquaculture practice due to a (October-November), and the dry winter season handsome amount of profits(Wilson et al., 2017). This (December-February). The highest and lowest potential aquaculture practice converts cultivable lands into gher evapotranspiration is 128.98 mm and 65.17 mm practice for bringing change in farmers livelihoods pattern, (Banglapedia, 2015). Argo-ecologically, the study village is affecting the socio-economic condition and ecosystem of located in the Ganges tidal floodplain (Rahman et al., 2014). the area (Rahman et al., 2013; Ahmed, 2013). In contrast, the monoculture is gradually replacing with a Data collection methods and analysis mixed culture, which ultimately leads to reducing crop diversification (Sarker et al., 2020c). As a result, the area The study was conducted using both primary and has become treeless gradually, which also affects local and secondary data. Primary data were gathered through regional climatic conditions. These changes in land use various techniques such as site observation, questionnaire patterns are immensely pressure on ecosystem services survey, focus group discussion (FGD) with gher farmers and livelihoods (Sarker et al., 2020a).

Locally supervised by Dr. Md. Atikul Islam Professor, Khulna University, Khulna, Bangladesh. Introduction In the coastal areas of Bangladesh with the construction of Polders to reduce flood risk, salinity intrusion and maximize the agricultural production, the other problems like land subsidence, sedimentation, water logging and salinization have become severe by the time being. By addressing these problems, ‘Living Polders’ project is working in the south- western region to develop a sustainable solution considering the social and physical dynamics of the area. As a part of the ongoing baseline study a field visit was conducted in Polder 30 (Batiaghata and Gangarampur union) and Polder 35/3 (Kara Para, Dema and Malliker Ber Union) during 8th to 10th February, 2017.

Khorip is the dominant crop season in Production function; the region. The average production of rice during khorip season is 4,232 kg Salinity; ha-1 in low saline areas, whereas, it is 3,760 kg ha-1 and 2,663 kg ha-1 for South-west region of moderate and high saline areas, respectively. The Cobb-Douglas production Bangladesh. function estimation results find that salinity has a negative and statistically significant influence on rice yield. This study also finds that salinity intrusion negatively influences farm profitability as well as farm performance. If the salinity of high saline area can be reduced to the threshold level, farmers will gain about 685 US$ ha-1 from increased rice yield. Salinity level needs to be controlled for realizing the benefits from an increase in production. Drainage, fresh water management for irrigation in time of dry season and spreading salt tolerant rice varieties in saline prone area are the controlling measures against salinity intrusion. Land zoning, property rights, tax for external costs associated with shrimp farming in the coastal areas of the country may be some command and control approaches to address the salinity problem.
