CONTRIBUTION OF AGRICULTURE TO GDPThe economy of Bangladesh is based on agriculture, industry and services. The gross domestic product (GDP) expressed as purchase power parity is US$209.2 billion, which is equivalent to more than BDT 14600 billion.
The agriculture sector contributes a major share in the GDP, which is about 20.0% and employs about 48.07% of the working force. Services sector is also an important sector in the economy of the country about 50% of the GDP is generated through this sector and engages 43.28% of the work force.
Again, among the sub-sectoral contributions of agriculture sector is dominated by crops (57 %), followed by fisheries (22%).

Soil SurveySoil survey, or soil mapping, is the process of classifying soil types and other soil properties in a given area and geo-encoding such information.
It applies the principles of soil science, and draws heavily from geomorphology, theories of soil formation, physical geography, and analysis of vegetation and land use patterns.
Primary data for the soil survey are acquired by field sampling and by remote sensing. Remote sensing principally uses aerial photography, but LiDAR and other digital techniques are steadily gaining in popularity.

Precision farming (PA)
Precision farming (PA) or satellite farming or site specific crop management (SSCM) is a farming management concept based on observing, measuring and responding to inter and intra-field variability in crops. PA aims to optimize field-level management with regard to:
• crop science: by matching farming practices more closely to crop needs (e.g. fertilizer inputs);
• environmental protection: by reducing environmental risks and footprint of farming (e.g. limiting leaching of nitrogen);
• economics: by boosting competitiveness through more efficient practices (e.g. improved management of fertilizer usage and other inputs).

Soil Classification (US Soil Taxonomy & FAO-UNESCO Legend)
Soil series identified through RSS, according to US soil taxonomy comfortably fit into five orders, such as: Inceptisols, Entisols, Ultisols, Histosolsand Mollisols. There were 12 suborders, 21 great groups and 56 subgroups in this country (Hussain, 1992).
According to FAO-UNESCO legend of soil classification system, the soil series identified through RSS has been categorized mainly into 35 FAO-Unescosoil units. These occur mainly as Fluvisols, Gleysols, Leptosol, Arenosol, Cambisol, Luvisol, Planosol, Alisol, Histosoland Anthrosol.
Soils of Bangladesh needs to be classified at the ‘Family Level’

GIS at SRDI (BARC, VISSION 2030)• Soil Resources Development Institute (SRDI) in collaboration with CEGIS developed a
massive 2GB database that stores soil data using primary information from Upazila Nirdeshika.
• The system is called 'The Soil and Land Resource Information System' or SOLARIS.
• Customized GIS software SOLARIS is also developed to map soil data based on classification (Soil Texture, Land type, Landform, Drainage, Slope, Surface Water Recession) and application (Crop Suitability, Land Zoning, Nutrient Status and Fertilizer Recommendation).
• The system can analyze data at the Upazilla, District, and national level. Given the current context of Bangladesh, the system has a wide range of potential use and benefits.
• These satellite based precision maps can assist the farmers to determine the optimal use of fertilizer for each type of crops in each season and thereby reducing the cost for the farmer and limit environmental hazards from unplanned usage.
• Additionally, the system can be used to assess drought for each soil map units and the associated 'Drought Assessment Framework' (DRAS) can be used for assessing the irrigation water requirements (when and how much). The DRAS was developed by CEGIS and BARC (UNDP, 2007)

Online Fertilizer Recommendation System (OFRS), SRDI
Objective: To increase crop production, reduce misuse of fertilizer, reduce crop production cost by reducing current practice of using excessive fertilizer and maintaining soil fertility.The system is capable of generating location specific fertilizer recommendation for selected crops by analyzing the national nutrient database developed by the institute. The software needs only location, land type, crop type, crop (variety) information to generate crop specific fertilizer recommendation.

Soil is wealthIf the wealth of a nation can be viewed as its accrued assets and inherent property, the income is the yearly money that is derived from that wealth. The soil is an obvious factor in the wealth and income of a nation and may have a clear relation to a nation’s wealth.So we are to use the soil and land resources of Bangladesh rationally for ensuring food security of the nation and conserve for future generation.
