Abstract
The primary objective of this study is to assess the impact of reduced arable land on food security and to explore potential remedies for addressing these issues. The study also examines the trends of declining agricultural growth and increasing population, as well as other factors contributing to food insecurity in Bangladesh. Data are gathered from a variety of secondary sources to meet the study’s goals, including pertinent peer-reviewed journal articles, newspaper articles, the Bangladesh Bureau of Statistics (BBS), the Bangladesh Economic Review, the World Bank, the World Economic Outlook, policy briefs, and blogs about different climate and agriculture issues in Bangladesh. The study’s key conclusion is that the shrinking amount of arable land available for cultivation increasingly threatens food security. Important steps, such as introducing awareness programmes, securing governmental support, creating appropriate rules and regulations, and ensuring their effective implementation, could help mitigate the current adverse effects, ensure food security for the growing population, and address climate vulnerabilities in Bangladesh. The most important implication of the study is that policymakers working in agro-based private and government organisations may consider these findings to formulate a safe and profitable agricultural system, as well as a hunger-free economy.
