  • Livestock and Poultry Rearing by Smallholder Farmers in Haor Areas in Bangladesh: Impact on Food Security and Poverty Alleviation
    The Bangladesh Journal of Agricultural Economics, 41(1): 73-86, 2020 LIVESTOCK AND POULTRY REARING BY SMALLHOLDER FARMERS IN HAOR AREAS IN BANGLADESH: IMPACT ON FOOD SECURITY AND POVERTY ALLEVIATION K. M. Mostafizur Rahman1* Md. Jamal Hossain1 M. Shihab Rana2 ABSTRACT This study aims at assessing the potentiality of increasing livestock and poultry rearing by smallholder farmers in haor areas to improve food security condition and poverty alleviation of people. This study was carried out in 200 smallholder farmers rearing livestock in two upazilas (sub-district), namely Juri of Moulvibazar and Madan of Netrokona district. Both descriptive and functional analysis have been carried out. Result reveals that the average annual family income was BDT 254323 where average annual family expenditure was BDT 235775. Average daily per capita consumption of rice and all food items respectively are 397g and 1149g. Daily per capita calorie and protein intakes are respectively 2445 Kcal and 82g respectively of the haor people. People consume almost all 12 categories of food items and average household dietary diversity score is 11.85. Multinomial logistic regression suggests that increase of family size results in the corresponding decrease of food security condition and increase in expenditure on food items increases food security condition. Key words: Livestock and Poultry, haor area, food security and poverty I. INTRODUCTION Livestock rearing in Bangladesh is an integral agricultural activity among most rural households, particularly landless, marginal and small landholders. It has significant positive impact on equity in terms of income, employment and poverty reduction in rural areas. Apart from its multi-faceted roles in socio-economic development, the livestock sector constitutes about 17 percent of agricultural gross domestic product and provides nutritionally rich food to many people in both rural and urban areas (BBS, 2015).

  • Decline in Fish Species Diversity Due to Climatic and Anthropogenic Factors

Saifullah Bin Aziz a, Neaz A. Hasan b, Md. Mostafizur Rahman Mondol a, Md. Mehedi Alam b, Mohammad Mahfujul Haque b,* a Department of Fisheries, University of Rajshahi, Rajshahi, Bangladesh b Department of Aquaculture, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh, Bangladesh ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Keywords: This study evaluates changes in fish species diversity over time in Hakaluki Haor, an ecologically critical wetland Haor in Bangladesh, and the factors affecting this diversity. Fish species diversity data were collected from fishers using Fish species diversity participatory rural appraisal tools and the change in the fish species diversity was determined using Shannon- Fishers Wiener, Margalef's Richness and Pielou's Evenness indices. Principal component analysis (PCA) was conducted Principal component analysis with a dataset of 150 fishers survey to characterize the major factors responsible for the reduction of fish species Climate change fi Anthropogenic activity diversity. Out of 63 sh species, 83% of them were under the available category in 2008 which decreased to 51% in 2018. Fish species diversity indices for all 12 taxonomic orders in 2008 declined remarkably in 2018. The first PCA (climatic change) responsible for the reduced fish species diversity explained 24.05% of the variance and consisted of erratic rainfall (positive correlation coefficient 0.680), heavy rainfall (À0.544), temperature fluctu- ation (0.561), and beel siltation (0.503). The second PCA was anthropogenic activity, including the use of harmful fishing gear (0.702), application of urea to harvest fish (0.673), drying beels annually (0.531), and overfishing (0.513).

  • Tribal Womens Involvement with Pig Farming in Bangladesh: an Evidence of Moulvibazar District
    SAARC J. Agri., 16(1): 115-127 (2018) DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/sja.v16i1.37428 TRIBAL WOMENS INVOLVEMENT WITH PIG FARMING IN BANGLADESH: AN EVIDENCE OF MOULVIBAZAR DISTRICT R. Khanum1*, M.S.A. Mahadi1 and M.S. Islam2 1Department of Agricultural Economics and Policy, Sylhet Agricultural University, Bangladesh 2Department of Agricultural Economics, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Mymensingh-2202, Bangladesh ABSTRACT The study examined the profitability and factors affecting farm income from pig farming in Moulvibazar district of Bangladesh. A multistage sampling technique was followed to select 70tribal women entrepreneurs involved with pig farming. Primary data were collected through structured questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent sample t-test, benefit-cost analysis, and linear regression model. Average age of pig entrepreneurs was 39.47 years which indicates that they are young and agile. About 71% of Garo entrepreneurs had experience for pig farming. The cost and return analysis showed that in one year, the gross margin was Tk. 56743.70, while the benefit-cost ratio (BCR) was 1.19 indicating that the enterprise is profitable. Regression analysis revealed that three variables namely farm size, age of the respondent and experience of pig farming are significant factors affecting farm income. Thus, it was recommended that tribal women should be encouraged to practice pig farming to overcome their low income and unemployment situation. Keywords: Pig farming, entrepreneur, tribal women, profitability. INTRODUCTION Small scale home based pig farming is an important livelihood source for pig farmers. In 2017, there were approximately 769.05 million pigs worldwide, where China has been produced about 51.85 million metric tons (USDA, 2018).

Mukul Department of Forestry and Environmental Science, School of Agriculture and Mineral Sciences, Shahjalal University of Science and Technology, Sylhet 3114, Bangladesh E-mail: [email protected] Summary Over the past few decades biodiversity has become the issue of global concern for its rapid reduction worldwide. Bangladesh is no exception. The country is exceptionally endowed with a vast variety of flora and fauna, but due to country’s tremendous population pressure, rural poverty and unemployment it has been decreased alarmingly. Government has taken various initiatives to alter this situation. The present paper is based on intensive literature survey and tries to explore the country’s overall biodiversity situation, biodiversity-development links, present trends and causes of depletion of biodiversity, biodiversity conservation initiatives in the country, major policy and legislation to conserve biodiversity, biodiversity research initiatives, prosperous sector of biodiversity etc. Finally the study concludes that, a separate statutory body or institution is fundamental to ensure conservation; sustainable use and equitable sharing of benefits arisen from biodiversity products and benefits in the country.
