The densely populated coastal area of Bangladesh is severely threatened by climate change. Sea level rise enhances salt intrusion, which is worsened by persistent droughts. At the same time, flood risk increases. Flooding may damage crops and ruin the harvest.

In other words, there is an urgent need for adapting the current agricultural practices to these changing circumstances. If not, food security of communities in coastal Bangladesh will be at risk. That is exactly where Project RECSA: Climate Smart Agriculture for a Resilient Coastal Bangladesh comes in.

Project RECSA helps to build  a resilient agriculture so Bangladeshi can be self-sufficient in food security in the long-run, in changing circumstances due to climate change.
