“…The agricultural sector provides livelihoods to more than two-thirds of the population of Bangladesh and employs about 62% of the total population (Biswas et al, 2001;Rasul and Thapa, 2004;Rashid et al, 2014). To address the issues of agricultural-based safety and environmental adaptation, Government of Bangladesh started to take many initiatives through agricultural extension programmes including harnessing technology more effectively since many years ago (Islam and Grönlund, 2007;Habiba et al, 2011;Islam et al, 2015;Rahman and Siddiquee, 2015).…”

The main objective of this paper is to present a new 'innovation-cycle' integrated conceptual framework of 'TVET-adaptive AKSI' (TVET: Technical and Vocational Education and Training; AKSI: Agricultural Knowledge System and Innovation). Thus the aim here is to discuss from existing body of literature of how 'TVET-adaptive AKSI' can be the 'Next Frontier of Green Innovation' and adaptation strategy to improve agricultural-based producers' understanding of 'risk perception and mitigation' (a case of Bangladesh is considered). Given the present state of producers' risks perceptions and the increased risks of safe agricultural food production, sustainable environment and health, it will be unprecedented challenges due to increasing demand for safe food supply for future growing population in Bangladesh. Studies show that producers (farmers) are still lagging behind with lack of necessary capacities including shortage of adequate knowledge of understanding in both 'environmental' and 'health' risks, which are contributing to excessive use of pesticides, fertilizers and agrochemicals for agricultural production, mixing of prohibited or hazardous chemicals with foods and foodstuffs for food adulteration, post-harvest preservation, and processing without being sufficiently aware of health and environmental consequences. To address the issue, very little investigations were done to understand how producers' perception and ignorance of risks are interconnected to the ways of their risky behaviour. Thus the aim of this paper is to explore existing literature to draw an understanding by developing a 'conceptual framework' about the urgent need of future 'Game Changer' strategy (e.g. Next Frontier of Green Innovation) for the safety and security of rapidly growing population by tackling the challenges of sustainable agricultural and safe food production in Bangladesh.
