The study was carried out in Batiaghata Upazila of Khulna district to identify different climate-resilient cropping patterns that had been practiced over the past three decades as well as the farmers’ perception about the causes of adopting climate-resilient cropping patterns. Information was collected through a personal interview, focus group discussion, systematic study of available records, and browsing the internet. A slight change was observed regarding climate-resilient cropping patterns over the last 30 years in the study area. About 30 years ago, five cropping patterns were practiced, only one pattern (Fallow-Fallow-T. Aman) was found climate-resilient. About 20 years ago, 11 cropping patterns were practiced, 5 patterns (Fallow-Fallow- T. Aman, Boro-Fallow-T. Aman, Boro-Gher (vegetables)-T. Aman, Boro-Gher (vegetables)-Fallow and Fallow-Gher (vegetables)-T. Aman) were found climate-resilient. About 10 years ago, 11 cropping patterns were practiced, 7 patterns (Sesame-Fallow-T. Aman, Boro- Fallow-T. Aman, Boro-Gher (vegetables)-Fallow, Fallow-Fallow- T.Aman, Boro-Jute-T. Aman, Boro-Gher (vegetables)-T. Aman and Fallow-Gher (vegetables)-T. Aman) were found climate-resilient. At present, 14 cropping patterns are being practiced. Out of which, six patterns are climate-resilient. Respondents justified nine causes for adopting climate-resilient cropping patterns, while an increase in cropping intensity was the most significant, while lower input cost was least significant. Most of the respondents (93.80%) had highly clear perceptions and the rest (6.20%) had moderately clear perceptions. A positive relationship between education and mass media exposure was observed with their perception.

The present study was conducted with objectives to identify the cropping patterns over the last 30 years including climate-resilient ones and determine farmers’ perception regarding the causes of adopting climate-resilient cropping patterns.

The present study was a descriptive and diagnostic type of research, based on a collection of data by door-to-door interviewing of the respondents. In this study, two techniques were used: (i) a statistical survey to identify present climate-resilient cropping patterns in four villages (Shoilmari, Joikhali, Raingamari, and Dorgatola) of Jalma union under Batiaghata Upazila of Khulna district and to assess farmers’ perception regarding the causes of adopting climate-resilient cropping patterns, (ii) Focus Group Discussion (FGD) with the participation of local people to find the cropping patterns over the last 30 years. The sample was collected by following the multistage disproportionate random method. For data collection, 10 % Upazila (out of 9 Upazila) in Khulna district were selected and then 10 % union (out of 7 unions) from each Upazila and 10 % villages (out of 37 villages) in each union were selected. Form 4 villages (10 % of total), 80 farmers (20 from each village) were selected. Primary data were collected through face-to-face interviews using an interview schedule from January to March 2019. Some of the preferred characteristics of the respondents were considered as independent variables viz. age, educational qualification, family education, family size, farm size, annual income, farming experience, and exposure to mass media. The perception of the respondents regarding causes of the adopting climate-resilient cropping patterns was considered as the dependent variable in this study. For analysis purposes, all qualitative data were converted to quantitative form by using an appropriate technique of scoring. In several instances, indices and scales were constructed through the simple accumulation of scores assigned to individuals or patterns of attributes. Among the selected characteristics age was measured in ‘actual year’, educational qualification in ‘years of schooling, family size in ‘number’, family education in ‘years of schooling’, farm size in ‘hectare’, farming experience in ‘year’, annual income in ‘000 BDT’ and exposure to mass media in ‘score’. A 9-item statement was used to determine the respondents’ perception regarding the causes of adopting climate-resilient cropping patterns. To determine the perception of the respondents regarding causes of adopting climate-resilient cropping patterns Likert’s type scale such as agree, strongly agree, undecided, disagree, and strongly disagree were used against each of the 9 statements. A score of 5, 4, 3, 2, and 1 was assigned against rating scales respectively. The perception score regarding the causes of adopting climate-resilient cropping patterns was determined by summing up all scores obtained against each of the 9-statements. The perception score of a respondent could range from 9 to 45, where ‘9’ indicates less clear perception and ‘45’ indicates highly clear perception. On the basis of perception score, the respondents were categorized into three groups as less clear perception (≤15), moderately clear perception (16-30), and highly clear perception (>30). To compare statements, a perception index of causes (PIC) was calculated using following formula (Ahmed, 2011): PIC = Nsa× 5 + Nag × 4 + Nud× 3 + Nda× 2 + Nsd× 1. Where PIC = Perception Index of Causes of Adopting Climate Resilient Cropping Patterns; Nsa=Number of respondents indicated as strongly agree Nag = Number of respondents indicated as agree; Nud= Number of respondents indicated as undecided Nda= Number of respondents indicated as disagreeing; Nsd = Number of respondents indicated as strongly disagree. The PIC scores could vary from 80-400. The scores were converted to percentages for a clear understanding of the causes that enhance the adoption of climate-resilient cropping patterns by using the following formula (Ahmed, 2011): PI = Observed PIC Score/Highest Possible PIC Score X 100. Different statistical treatments such as number, mean, standard deviation, range, minimum, maximum, rank order, and percentage were used to describe the variables. To explore the relationship between any two variables, Pearson Product Correlation Coefficient (for interval and ratio type of data) was used. The data were analyzed by using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) 20.

An increasing trend in the total number of climate-resilient cropping patterns from 30 years ago to 10 years ago was observed but it was found to be decreased at present. The respondents had a clearer perception regarding the causes of adopting climate-resilient cropping patterns. Among identified 9 causes of adopting climate-resilient cropping patterns, all had almost similar PS (ranging 314-389) except that of lower-cost input (96). An overwhelming majority of the farmers had a highly clear perception (93.80 %). followed by moderately clear perception (6.20 %). Only education and mass media exposure of the respondents showed a significant positive relationship with their perception regarding the causes of adopting climate-resilient cropping patterns. Finally, it could be concluded that there are a lot of causes that affected the adoption of climate-resilient cropping patterns and accelerated to change in adoption.
