The aim of conservation agriculture practice is to make better use of agricultural resources through the integrated management of available soil, water and biological resources combined with limited external inputs. In the light of this situation, the aim of this research is to identify the dimension of conservation agriculture practices adopted by the farmers in different areas of Bangladesh, and analyze financial and other conditions that spur farmers to adopt such practice. The research will provide valuable information on problems faced by the farmers to practice conservation agriculture and thereby suggest the policymakers to formulate appropriate policies so that adoption of conservation agriculture becomes reasonable and smooth for improving livelihood of the farming community in Bangladesh.
