Introduction: Bangladesh has experienced wide-ranging changes in terms of climate-resilient agricultural technologies, climate-resilient crop varieties, cropping patterns, cultivation practices, productivity, and intensity of cultivation. Context: Climate resilient cropping pattern is the need of the hour for sustainable food production and rejuvenating resilience, the climate-smart cropping pattern needs to be adopted by the smallholders of Bangladesh. Objective: To recognize climate-resilient cropping patterns adopted by the farmers. Methods: Information was collected from 80 farmers of five villages of Bangladesh by the researcher herself using an interview schedule. Results and Discussion: Among 4 climate resilient cropping patterns, the highest extent of adoption was observed in the case of Boro-Gher (vegetables)-Fallow while the lower extent of adoption was found in the case of Fallow-Fallow-T. Aman. The majority of the respondents showed medium adoption behavior regarding climate-resilient cropping patterns. Increasing cropping intensity was the main cause for adopting climate-resilient cropping patterns while high-yielding cropping pattern was the less important cause for adopting climate-resilient cropping patterns. Among 13 chosen characteristics of the respondent farmers, level of education, experience in the adoption of resilient technology, farm size, annual family income, cosmopolitanism, innovativeness, extension contact, training exposure and knowledge were emphatically related to the adoption of climate-resilient cropping pattern. Adoption of climate-resilient cropping patterns will help in increasing cropping intensity which ultimately will result in sustainable crop production.
