Homestead agroforestry is one of the recognized agroforestry practices in Bangladesh. While the monoculture cropping system is enormously intensified, homestead agroforestry has added dimension to rapid economic growth. But despite having significance, homestead agroforestry is not gaining concern in further development. The study was done to bring this topic into focus by compiling the prospects of homestead agroforestry in Bangladesh by highlighting the significance and necessity. A secondary analysis was done by reviewing the findings to do this research. To collect paper keywords, "Bangladesh homestead agroforestry", "Homestead agroforestry practices", "Homestead agroforestry status", "Homestead biodiversity'', "Homestead and SDGs," "Dominant species," and "Home garden agroforestry system" were entered. Following the PRISMA framework, 337 papers were collected, among which 113 met the inclusion or eligibility criteria. The interrelated publications of homestead agroforestry with SDGs were assessed from the 113 shortlisted articles. The interrelated publications assessment on homestead agroforestry in the context of Sustainable Development Goals figured out that major research output was oriented towards no poverty (44%), decent work and economic growth (27%), zero hunger (20%), indicating its link to achieve SDGs from Bangladesh perspectives. The shortlisted articles were reviewed in the context of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), food security, livelihood improvement, environmental resources conservation, and dominant species coverage. Consequently, the dominant species were tabulated along with their respective coverages according to their uses. The study identified that in all localities of Bangladesh, Mango, Areca, Coconut, and Mahogany are the highly preferred dominant species, while Jackfruit, Acacia, and Banana also prevailed. Hence, the study concluded that homestead agroforestry has significant prospects in food security, livelihood improvement, and environmental resources conservation, and its contribution to achieving Sustainable Development Goals cannot be ignored. But homestead agroforestry system is exposed to vulnerability due to constraints. The systematic elimination of prevailing constraints can help in successfully executing sustainable development goals, and fruitful consequences can be derived by imposing potential concerns on this sector.
庭院农林业是孟加拉国公认的农林业实践之一。虽然单一栽培种植系统得到了极大强化，但庭院农林业为经济的快速增长增添了维度。然而，尽管具有重要意义，庭院农林业在进一步发展中并未受到关注。本研究旨在通过突出其重要性和必要性，汇编孟加拉国庭院农林业的前景，从而使这一主题成为焦点。为此进行了二次分析，即回顾研究结果。为收集论文关键词，输入了“孟加拉国庭院农林业”“庭院农林业实践”“庭院农林业现状”“庭院生物多样性”“庭院与可持续发展目标”“优势物种”以及“家庭园艺农林业系统”。按照PRISMA框架，收集了337篇论文，其中113篇符合纳入或合格标准。从这113篇入围文章中评估了庭院农林业与可持续发展目标的相关出版物。在可持续发展目标背景下对庭院农林业的相关出版物评估表明，主要研究成果集中在无贫困（44%）、体面工作和经济增长（27%）、零饥饿（20%）方面，这表明从孟加拉国的角度来看，它与实现可持续发展目标存在关联。在可持续发展目标（SDGs）、粮食安全、生计改善、环境资源保护和优势物种覆盖的背景下，对入围文章进行了审查。因此，根据优势物种的用途，将其与各自的覆盖率制成表格。研究发现，在孟加拉国的所有地区，芒果、槟榔、椰子和桃花心木是高度优选的优势物种，而菠萝蜜、金合欢和香蕉也很常见。因此，该研究得出结论，庭院农林业在粮食安全、生计改善和环境资源保护方面具有重要前景，其对实现可持续发展目标的贡献不可忽视。但由于各种限制因素，庭院农林业系统面临脆弱性。系统消除当前的限制因素有助于成功执行可持续发展目标，对该部门施加潜在关注可产生丰硕成果。
