On-going Projects:

1. Project Name: 

Economics of smallholders’ cropping systems intensification

(This research envisages to answer the following research questions: (i)What are the cropping systems intensification solutions smallholders’ arable crop farming of Bangladesh has been adopted? (ii) Are whole field conventional mechanized systems with human operators a cost-effective approach compared to partial conventional mechanized systems in monocultural practices? (iii) Are mixed cropping systems with whole field conventional mechanization a profitable alternative to monocultural practices?).

Project No.: 2024/2143/BAU
