The issue of global climate change is increasingly worrisome, particularly for countries heavily reliant on agriculture. To reduce the negative impact of climate change on agriculture, farmers of Bangladesh started adopting different climate smart agriculture (CSA) practices. The CSA sustainably increases productivity, resilience, and food security, which can contribute to the achievement of a number of sustainable development goals (SDGs). However, the adoption of CSA is low especially in the climate-vulnerable coastal areas of Bangladesh. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify the factors affecting the adoption of CSA and its influence on coastal household's food security. A total of 327 sample farmers from three coastal districts of Bangladesh were interviewed. The collected data were then analyzed by using the binary probit and ordered probit model. The findings indicated that highest 65 % of farmers adopted early planting of rice as one of CSA practices. The adoption of CSA practices positively affected by the household annual income, extension services and awareness regarding CSA practices. Moreover, the adopters of CSA were more food secure than non-adopters. For instance, adoption of one additional CSA practice leads to an increase in the likelihood of being food secure by 4.3 %. In terms of policy perspective, the adoption of CSA in the coastal areas can be increased through creation of employment opportunities, increasing access to extension services, and broadcasting of CSA-related programs on mass media.
全球气候变化问题日益令人担忧，尤其是对于严重依赖农业的国家。为减少气候变化对农业的负面影响，孟加拉国的农民开始采用不同的气候智能型农业（CSA）做法。CSA可持续地提高生产力、恢复力和粮食安全，这有助于实现一些可持续发展目标（SDGs）。然而，CSA的采用率较低，特别是在孟加拉国气候脆弱的沿海地区。因此，开展本研究以确定影响CSA采用的因素及其对沿海家庭粮食安全的影响。对来自孟加拉国三个沿海地区的327名样本农民进行了访谈。然后使用二元概率模型和有序概率模型对收集到的数据进行分析。研究结果表明，最高65%的农民采用水稻早播作为CSA做法之一。CSA做法的采用受到家庭年收入、推广服务以及对CSA做法的认知的积极影响。此外，CSA的采用者比未采用者粮食更安全。例如，多采用一种CSA做法会使粮食安全的可能性增加4.3%。从政策角度来看，通过创造就业机会、增加推广服务的可及性以及在大众媒体上播放与CSA相关的节目，可以提高沿海地区对CSA的采用率。
