摘要

Bangladeshi land use, agricultural prospects, and biofuel production are covered in this chapter. Due to population growth and limited land resources, the chapter emphasizes sustainable land use. Floods, droughts, and food shortages reduce land availability, necessitating biofuels. Jatropha, a significant biofuel crop in Bangladesh, grows on non-arable soil without affecting food production. Jatropha's co-benefits makes it an essential local and worldwide environmental and economic resource. Energy crop agriculture in Bangladesh requires land use modification due to urbanization. Biofuel production against land-use limits and energy demand is discussed. Bangladeshi biofuel crop production potential by area and land allotment per capita are provided. Sustainable and equitable biomass production for energy and material outputs and the environment is highlighted. Biofuel crop, land use in Bangladesh is described in this chapter. It encourages sustainable land management and biofuels like Jatropha to boost the global energy supply and alleviate environmental and economic issues.
