#WeAreWatching: Bangladeshi Farmers Call to Action Against Climate Change

"Due to #climatechange, farmers in #Bangladesh are in a vulnerable situation. Because of the sea level rise and salinity intrusion, river erosion, etc., they are facing a massive negative blow in terms of crop productivity. In addition, poor management practices, especially those of pests and diseases, fertilizer, water, and irrigation have largely contributed to a significant decline in crop productivity. Small and marginal farmers that constitute the majority of farm population are constrained by poor financial resources and cannot, therefore, afford high management costs of high input technology," said Md. Badrul Alam, President of the Bangladesh Krishok Federation, during the Focus Group Discussion for the We Are Watching campaign conducted in Bangladesh in 2021. In addition, he demanded to give emphasis on ensuring agroecology and food sovereignty and extensive use of renewable energy in Bangladesh could be an effective response mechanism.
