Abstract
Bangladesh government has targeted to secure food security, particularly by increasing rice production, in response to the global climate change, increasing food demand, and political outlook. To achieve this, they are using all-strategies that include improved crop management practices, cultivated area expansion, and genetic improvements. To talk about on rice alone, as of July 18, 2022, the production of rice was over 38.4 million tons (Mt), but the government aims to increase it to 47 Mts by 2030 and then to 54 Mts by 2040. They also target to produce more than 60 Mt by 2050, while in 2021, rice was grown on 78% of Bangladesh's total arable land. In the context of Bangladesh's intensive agricultural production system, agriculture remains the predominant sector of employment, engaging a substantial 40.6% of the labor force in 2022 (BBS, 2022).
