The study explores spatial deviation of agro-ecology and its interconnection with poverty. Agro-ecology provides more than the resources need for material welfare and livelihoods, in addition to alleviating poverty. Bangladesh, especially the northwest region, remains high intensity of poverty with divergence of agro-environment. Heterogeneous agro-ecological features were found which affect poverty dissimilarity. Incidence of poverty seems to have linkage with agro-ecological variations. The areas having low productivity have higher incidence of poverty. Both the field and printed documents have been exploited to put in writing this manuscript.
