The main objective of this study is to explore the major impacts of salinity intrusion on coastal agriculture and farmer’s livelihoods in Bangladesh. The study has attempted to identify some effective measures for the sustainability of coastal agriculture. The study was conducted based on both primary and secondary data during 2010-2020. To collect primary data, a total of 150 respondents out of 240 households were randomly interviewed and samples are drawn proportionately from study sites. Descriptive and inferential statistics have been done to analyze data. The ArcGIS mapping tool was adopted to represent the spatio-temporal change of saline area. It reveals that due to high salinity intrusion the coastal agriculture has already experienced noticeable adverse impacts especially in increasing rate of salinity, loss in cultivable land and production. Shrimp farming with brackish water and tidal inundation are explored as the main causes for salinity intrusion. In study sites, the level of salinity in 2020 is much stronger than in 2010. It reveals that due to strong salinity in agricultural land the farmer's are suffering from low income, unemployment, scarcity in irrigation and freshwater. It was identified that the planned shrimp culture, management of the embankment, cultivation of saline tolerant crops and raising public awareness will be the possible measures to control the intrusion of salinity. Therefore, it is expected that the evaluation of the revealed impacts of salinity intrusions and the explored measures will be effective to ensure the sustainability of coastal agriculture in Bangladesh.

This study aims to analyze the profitability of vanname shrimp (Litopenaeus vannamei) cultivation using the supra intensive method and to determine the feasibility of cultivating vanname shrimp (Litopenaeus vannemei) using the supra intensive method in CV. Dewi Windu, Barru Regency. This research was conducted from March to April 2020. The sampling method used was the case study method in CV. Dewi Windu where the research goes directly to the field by taking respondents (samples) from the representative population using a questionnaire as the main data collection. Sources of data used are primary data and secondary data and then analyzed using cost and income analysis as well as business financial analysis. Based on the results of the analysis of business profits obtained in the super intensive vanname shrimp cultivation business of Rp. 3,914,733.10. Where the profit is obtained from the total revenue of Rp. 34,626,400,000 minus the total cost used of Rp. 15,050,734,400. The feasibility of Vanname Shrimp Cultivation at CV Dewi Windu was obtained from the results of the NPV, B/C Ratio, IRR, and Payback Period where each was obtained. The NPV (Net Present Value) obtained in the supra-intensive vanname shrimp culture in the next five years is Rp. 3,772,305,286. Comparison of the value of net cash receipts in the future or Net B/C ratio in the supra intensive vanname shrimp farming business is 1.1. Interest rate or IRR (Internal Rate of Return) in the cultivation of super-intensive vanname shrimp is 25.4%. As for the payback period (PP) in the cultivation of super-intensive vanname shrimp, which is for a period of less than 1.95 years or equal to 23.4 months.

The conversion from black tiger shrimp farming and crop farming to white leg shrimp production is widespread in Vietnam’s Mekong Delta provinces. However, this conversion trend also contains many risks related to the technical aspects of the production process. The study mainly aims to estimate the technical efficiency of white leg shrimp farming. It also compares the technical efficiency of white leg shrimp farming between the traditional group that historically has cultivated white leg shrimp and the group that recently converted from black tiger shrimp and crops to white leg shrimp, in order to evaluate the efficiency and adaptability of shrimp farming. Primary data were collected by directly interviewing 99 farmers in traditional areas and 101 farmers in recently converted areas in the study sites and analyzed by using the stochastic frontier method. The calculated technical efficiency was around 72.9 percent, suggesting that farmers could increase their output level by about 27.1%, given constant inputs. There was no difference in the technical efficiency of the two groups, indicating that the converted farms have sufficient adaptability when switching to white leg shrimp farming. The output loss in farmers’ production is still very high, with an average loss of 1973 kg/hectare.

The results of this study indicate that the perception of the younger generation of agricultural activities in the Buha Sub-District is overall negative for agricultural activities. Viewed from internal factors include education, employment, gender and age. The higher the level of education, the wider the insight of the younger generation so that the lack of interest in the younger generation in agricultural activities is getting bigger. The younger generation who already have permanent jobs in the non-agricultural sector look down on agricultural activities because they assume that agricultural activities have a low social level. Women have a low interest in agricultural activities because they assume that agricultural activities are not suitable for women because it will damage their appearance. Respondents aged 21-30 years have a low interest in agricultural activities, in addition to reduced agricultural land. External factors include socialization, parental work status and land ownership status. The younger generation with a low level of socialization results in a lack of interest in the younger generation in agricultural activities. Parents of respondents who work in agriculture or non-agriculture do not want their children to make agricultural activities the main job. The young generation whose parents still own agricultural land is still doing agricultural activities to help their parents work on their farms.
