Bangladesh being not so a rich country cannot bear frequent losses in the agriculture sector due to natural calamities like flood, cyclone, draught, etc. The global climate change has created a serious negative impact on Bangladesh agriculture. By changing the cropping pattern, we may reduce the loss due to environmental hazards up to some extent. But this will not yield a very positive result on our crop production. Generation of new and appropriate technology is time consuming and costly as well. So, at this critical hour, it has become essential to identify and share technologies among the agro-based countries of the world. The developed countries which are contributing the lion's share in the creation of climatic havoc should come forward in aid of the affected countries. In my opinion, the United Nations should organise a global conference on how to face agricultural challenges in the coming days.
