The main objective of the proposal is to establish a new centre of excellence in post graduate research for climate smart agriculture (CSA) in coastal Bangladesh.
The project will develop a clear post-graduate research and teaching strategy for the centre along the three key pillars of CSA:
1) resilience to climate variability and change,
2) reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and
3) increased productivity and profitability of agricultural systems.
Finally, the project will develop a range of demonstration, training and strategic agricultural innovation activities to disseminate CSA knowledge and technologies to coastal communities.
