Analysis the Relationships of Arable Land Use in Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan

Abstract

This study's objective is to examine how Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan use their farmland and compare their agricultural practices and policies. The idea behind the study is that land use and farming are very different in the three countries, even though they are all in similar places and have similar climates. In this study, the research was done using both quantitative and qualitative methods and also used several tests like the Johansen cointegration test, the Granger causality test, the Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test, the Phillips-Perron (PP) test, and the Kwiatkowski-Phillips-Schmidt-Shin (KPSS) test. The information used in this study came from both first-hand and second-hand sources, like government reports, academic journals, and other relevant literature. The study's findings show that, while Bangladesh, India, and Pakistan have similar meteorological and geographical qualities, their approaches to land use and agriculture are vastly different. Bangladesh has a more diverse cropping pattern and has had great success in increasing agricultural production by implementing new technologies. India, on the other hand, uses more fertilizers and pesticides, resulting in environmental harm and health issues. Pakistan has a more limited farming strategy, as well as water shortages and insufficient irrigation systems.
