Description: The study examined the impact of NGO-supported forest restoration programs on the livelihoods of Village Common Forest (VCF)-dependent communities in the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Bangladesh. Using the Sustainable Livelihood Approach and Propensity Score Matching (PSM), the research compared 15 NGO-supported and 15 non-supported VCFs. The findings showed that NGO participation improved household income, reduced expenditures, and enhanced educational outcomes. The study highlighted the importance of community-based forest management and collaboration among NGOs, local communities, and government agencies for sustainable forest conservation and improved rural livelihoods.

Description: Hilsha fish (Tenualosa ilisha) is one of Bangladesh's biggest economic and nutritious fish. Governments and planners are contemplating rewarding fishermen who conserve this precious resource. The government is economically helping fishermen to limit fishing Hilsha for 2 months in order to promote it from immature (Jatka) to mature Hilsha. No study has predicted the amount of economic incentive for fishermen in Bangladesh. This study estimates fishermen's willingness to accept (WTA) conserving Hilsha fishes and the associated problems that they encounter during the banning period. To achieve these goals, 255 fishermen from Chandpur were randomly sampled for collecting cross-section data. This study uses a dichotomous contingent valuation using a logit model for WTA decision factors and problem facing index (PFI) to assess fishermen's hardships during the banning period. Findings reveal that WTA decisions are influenced by bidding amount, household distance from the nearest market, fishermen's educational status, previous awareness of Hilsha conservation, credit access, household size, training received, and fishing experience. The PFI shows that respondents' main issues during the fish-catching prohibition are the lack of nutritional food, alternative jobs, clothing, credit, and livelihood capital. The mean per month WTA is found to be BDT 13,372, which should be implemented to minimize trade-offs during banning and sustain Hilsha resources with support to and from fishermen. Policies such as technical training for alternative earning occupations, increased credit with low prerequisites, effective family planning, and Hilsha conservation awareness might help improve the livelihoods of the fishing community and sustain this valuable resource.

Description: This study focuses on the production and profitability of the broiler farming by using Cobb- Douglas production function and Benefit-Cost analysis. For this purpose, data were collected from 50 broiler farmers living in Birol and Sadar upazila of Dinajpur district in 2020. The result revealed that involvement in broiler production seems to be profitable for the small-scale broiler farmers for the study areas notifying by net return as Tk. 6681 with a benefit-cost ratio greater than one, whereas the gross return was Tk.193367. The net return over the total cost is 0.075. The production function resulted that feed, medicines and human labor had significant positive effect on production of broiler whereas only rental cost had negative effect. Training had a highly significant (p<0.01) positive effect on production of broiler. Therefore, it can be recommended that training and proper use of drugs and medicine should be encouraged because of their significant impact. Government and NGOs should also arrange more training for improving broiler production in Bangladesh.

Description: This study focuses on technical, allocative and economic efficiency in soybean production among small-holders in Khansama region of Dinajpur district that was estimated using the stochastic frontier production function analysis. Due to rapid break out of COVID19 as pandemic, the data were collected by mobile phone interview through random process. The main objective of the study was to explore efficiency level of the farmers and find ways likely to increase productivity of garlic among farmers in the region through a better use of the factors employed in production. The study was used primary data collected from a sample of 30 garlic producers and the data were analyzed with STATA 12.0 version. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze socioeconomic characteristics while the stochastic frontier production function was used to estimate the level of technical, allocative and economic efficiencies among sample farmers. The results further revealed the existence of inefficiencies in garlic production among farmers in the study area. The mean technical efficiency of garlic producer farmers was found to be 44.7% while the average efficiency of allocative and economic were 31.7% and 36.9%, respectively. The result emphasize the need for building rural infrastructure, adult education and training of farmers and demonstration of new technologies, institutional support of credit services and increasing frequency of extension and improving livestock health and nutritional improvements in the study area in order to improve their efficiencies, productivity as well as profitability.
