Abstract

The availability, accessibility, utility and stability of food production and consumption interrupted due to the climatic transformation and intensity of salinity in the southwest salinity prone area of Bangladesh. 96.7% of the respondents can perceive climate change explicitly, among the 120 respondents of whom the mean age of the respondents was 50.6 years. 40.8% of the respondents responded that crops became more limited from 20 to 25 years ago. 43.3% of the respondents argued that salinity was responsible for the degradation of soil fertility. The problems of drinking water prevails that 29.79% of the respondents spent 61 taka to 80 taka monthly for water. 96.22% of the respondents availed microcredit facilities from NGO and 22.0% of the respondents used microcredit for purchasing food products. 64.2% of the respondents don’t consume nutritional foods and the day to day consumption highly depends on purchasing which was domestically produced few years ago.
