This book draws examples from food security issues in Bangladesh.
The book is structured around those issues and underlying causes of
food security, the implications from different sectors, policy
analysis, and the role and actions of various stakeholders from
different sectors to ensure food security. Bangladesh is situated
in a climatically vulnerable position and is impacted frequently by
such climatic hazards as floods, cyclones, droughts, and salinity
intrusion. Due to global atmospheric changes, abrupt shifts in
climatic conditions severely affect Bangladesh's agriculture.
Although Bangladesh has made significant progress in increasing
domestic production of food grain, if the production of major
cereals is hampered due to climate change, food security will be in
jeopardy. Most estimates show that a huge amount of additional food
grain will be required to feed the growing population of the
country. Ensuring food security for all is the overarching goal of
Bangladesh's national food policy. Therefore, ensuring food
security in the future requires a great deal of additional effort
in yield improvement, with limited scope for expanding the area
under cultivation. The primary target readers for this book are
students and researchers in the fields of environment, disaster
risk reduction, and climate change studies. The book will provide
them with a good idea of the current trend of research in the field
and will furnish basic knowledge on this important topic. Another
target group comprises practitioners and policy makers, who will be
able to apply collective knowledge to policy and decision making.
