Food Security of Bangladesh: Searching for Sustainable Strategies

Among the basic needs of each person, food security and adequate nutrition are the most significant elements. In recent years, Bangladesh has achieved some remarkable progress in food security, but there remain several challenges to ensure it for all. This paper explores the significant agendas regarding food security in Bangladesh and the present scenario of the country’s food security. The present study tries to identify some sustainable strategies to ensure food security in Bangladesh, a disaster-prone country due to its geographical location where people frequently visit droughts, cyclones, and many other natural calamities. This paper also focuses on the government’s different food programs and several initiatives taken by the respective authorities to ensure food security at the national level, one of the main goals of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). Bangladesh’s efforts to achieve food security are discussed here, and the National Food Security Act is also outlined. Finally, this study explains the institutional actions that can be taken to implement a policy plan to ensure food security and improved nutrition for all as a part of the National Food Security policy.
