Abstract: This study shows how cropping patterns are affected due to the impact of climate change in Bera Upazila and find out the factor which is mostly responsible for this impact on cropping patterns. The impact of climate change on cropping patterns is widespread across the country. Its effect has also been observed in the cropping pattern of the Bera Upazila in Bangladesh. Rainfall anomaly index and Standardized anomaly index analysis were used to calculate rainfall and drought index. The primary data was collected from 100 respondents from 4 villages of Bera Upazila. Some data were collected through focus group discussions with farmers. In conversation with the farmers, it was revealed that many cropping patterns such as Wheat+Til+B.Aman, Chili-B. Aman have disappeared in Bera Upazila due to a lack of adequate rainfall and sometimes excessive rainfall, which causes waterlogging and makes many areas unfit for cultivation for two to three months.
