Farming Systems Development in Bangladesh - A Comparative Study with Neighboring
Asian Countries
The Farming Systems Research approach in technology generation and refinement
has been proved as an effective means of system research and development.
In the agricultural development paradigm of Bangladesh the only unexplored
avenue is to Study Farming Systems Research to address farmers’ productivity
problem for sustainable development.
I, therefore, got myself involved, in the late 1980s, with a group of Japanese
scholars who were conducting development studies of agriculture in rural
Bangladesh. Within that program I pursued a Ph.D degree from the Division
of Tropical Agriculture in Kyoto University. I kept myself closely associated
with the same group that was conducting extended phase of study on Agricultural
and Rural Development in Bangladesh.
I also joined Asian Ecotechnology Network which was comprised of Bangladeshi,
Japanese, Indian, Thai and Vietnamese scholars who were interested to explore
farmers’ ecological knowledge and wisdom in fostering agricultural technologies.
I have collected some farming systems and local unique technologies when
the Network conducted data collection tours in Asian regions, including
Caveri Delta in South India, Mekong Delta in Vietnam and Northern Mountains
in Thailand in 1999 and 2000.
Through my extensive field work within and out side Bangladesh, I am encouraged
to compile all the data in my hand. During my stay in CSEAS, I will conduct
a study on Farming Systems Development in Bangladesh for sustainable agricultural
and rural development in comparative perspectives with few neighboring
countries in South and Southeast Asia.
