Bangladesh is concentrating efforts to achieve food and nutrition security for its people. The facts, figures, and analysis underlying this new push are now available online.
IFPRI and other internationally recognized experts prepared six research papers, one for each priority area identified by the government and discussed at the May 26-27 Bangladesh Food Security Investment Forum.
The documents summarize the major opportunities and challenges facing the country and identify opportunities to accelerate progress in achieving food security. Specific titles include:
Agricultural marketing, price stabilization, value chains, and global/regional trade
Cross-cutting issues: Governance and gender
Food utilization and nutrition security
Growth and development potential of livestock and fisheries in Bangladesh
Income growth, safety nets, and public food distribution
The papers provide concrete recommendations to advance towards a future in which no one in Bangladesh suffers from hunger.
