Adoption of Climate Smart Agriculture to Reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions
Agriculture has a great impact on Bangladesh’s economy. The contribution of agriculture to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 1971 was 60%, whereas the industry’s contribution was only 11%. The contribution of agriculture to GDP came down to 11.22% in 2022. In contrast, the industry’s contribution to GDP has increased to 33.92%. The remaining percentages are from services and the other sectors. This is the relative contribution of agriculture concerning the other increased sectors. In reality, labour-intensive agriculture itself has increased several folds both in quantity and quality as well through so many odds. That is why still agriculture is helping a lot to create jobs, reduce poverty, develop human resources, ensure food security, etc.
