Crop insurance for vulnerable farmers
It is evident that Bangladesh is highly susceptible to the adverse effects of human-induced climate change. Rising sea level, a variation of temperature and irregular rainfall are its notable signs which imposes a great threat to the agricultural sector. In addition, each year, many farmers endure huge losses due to natural hazards such as floods.
The government, policymakers and relevant stakeholders should work together to introduce crop insurance and take the necessary measures to make it available to farmers all across the country.
