Summary/Abstract: In Bangladesh, smallholder farmers - who constitute approximately 85% of the farming community - are integral to the nation's food security. However, they face numerous challenges, including limited access to finance, markets, and essential value chain services. To address these issues and enhance resilience, various organizations and initiatives have been established. This study is concerned with research that can categorize, compile and analyse a model of adaptive mechanisms generated by farmers in difficult times and during the crisis in Bangladesh, as well as their resilience in agricultural knowledge to reshape and restructure agricultural practices. The example of the Bangla village of Salimpur is given in the research. Finally, the experiences of small-scale farming specific to the cultural context are marked in this study from an ethnic point of view. Here, the researchers have picked up the designed model and framework from the field approach to organized food production on small farms.
