Bangladesh

Bangladesh is home to the largest river delta in the world and known to be one of the most populated countries in the world. The pressure over land is high, also because Bangladesh is one of the most disaster-prone countries in the world and highly vulnerable to climate change-related events. A preliminary report on the 2019 Agricultural Census suggests that one quarter of rural households are landless.
