Abstract

This study aims to identify the factors influencing farmers' barriers to adopting climate-smart agriculture (CSA) practices in the coastal area of Bangladesh. We have used a semi-structured, pre-tested questionnaire to collect quantitative and qualitative data from 160 coastal farmers who had at least 10 years of farming experience. We found that internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha) values for the items of agricultural vulnerability, adopted CSA practices, and perceived barriers to adopting CSA practices were 0.72, 0.74, and 0.79, respectively. The Agricultural Vulnerability Index (AGVI) found increased soil salinity in the dry season, reduced freshwater resources, poor seed germination, and more pests and diseases as vulnerabilities in agriculture. The Adoption Index (ADI) identified most adopted CSA practices as including growing HYVs of vegetables on high land, short-duration HYVs of rice, using compost, proper fertilizer management, and sarjon cultivation methods. The Barrier Index (BI) showed that high initial investment costs, poor embankment infrastructure, low crop prices, a lack of solar-powered irrigation systems, and insufficient technical assistance from local extension organizations are the main barriers to the adoption of CSA practices. Farmers' age, education, training experience, job satisfaction, and use of information sources have influenced barriers to adopting CSA practices. The study suggested policies on coastal farmer competency development, ensuring crop insurance, providing interest-free credit policies, and a fair pricing system for crops.

이 연구는 방글라데시 해안 지역에서 기후에 대응한 스마트 농업 (CSA) 방법의 채택에 대한 장애요인을 도출하고자 하였다. 반구조화된 설문지를 사용하여 최소 10년 이상의 농사경험이 있는 160명의 연안 농부들로부터 정량적 및 정성적 데이터를 수집하였다. 농업 취약성, 채택된 CSA 관행, 그리고 CSA 관행 채택에 대한 인식된 장벽 항목의 내적 일관성(Cronbach's alpha)은 각각 0.72, 0.74, 0.79로 나타났다. 농업 취약성 지수 (AGVI)는 토양 염분 증가, 담수 자원의 감소, 불량한 씨앗발아, 해충과 질병의 증가를 농업의 취약점으로 확인하였다. 채택 지수(ADI)는 다수성 채소 재배, 단기간 다수성 쌀 재배, 퇴비나 바이오가스 사용, 적절한 비료 관리, 그리고 소르존 재배 방법 등을 공통 CSA 방법으로 파악하였다. 그러나 장벽 지수(BI)는 높은 초기 투자 비용, 열악한 제방 인프라, 낮은 작물 가격, 태양광 관개 시스템의 부족, 기술 지원의 부족이 CSA 채택을 저해하는 것으로 파악되었다. 또한 농부의 나이, 직무 만족도, 교육 수준, 훈련 경험, 정보원 사용이 CSA 방법 채택장벽에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 연구는 CSA 관행을 장려하기 위해 해안 농부 역량 개발, 농작물 보험, 무이자 대출정책, 그리고 공정한 농작물 가격 체계를 제안하였다.
