The document discusses the policy and institutional framework for food security in Bangladesh. It outlines the national food policy's goals of ensuring dependable food security for all through a multi-sectoral approach involving several ministries and agencies. Key elements of the policy include increasing food availability through production, access through income and markets, and utilization through nutrition. The policy is implemented through various government bodies including the Food Planning and Monitoring Committee, Food Policy Working Group, Food Planning and Monitoring Unit, and Thematic Teams.
Food losses and waste occur throughout the food supply chain from production to consumption. Globally about 1.3 billion tonnes of food, or roughly one-third of total food produced, is lost or wasted each year. Losses in developing countries primarily occur during production, storage, and transportation due to limitations in infrastructure and technology. In developed countries, waste mainly happens at the retail and consumer levels due to issues like consumer behavior and confusion over product date labels. Reducing losses and waste could help improve global food security while also protecting environmental resources.

The study aims at the screening of selected preservatives and additives with respect to its nutritional values. For centuries man has treated food to prolong to its shelf life, and now a days both the natural syntactic preservatives and additives are used widely to ensure the satisfactory maintenance of the quality, quantity and safety of foods. The food preservatives and additives are selected based on the food industries and purchased and measured. Nutrition values i.e., energy, carbohydrates, fats, proteins, fibre and sugar is analysed for the selective additives and preservatives. There continues to be lots of public concern about the use of food preservatives including additives leads from a perception that some of them may have undesirable effects on human body and their daily lifestyle. The absence of nutritional values in food additives and food preservatives are analysed by means of confirmatory tests. The results of these assays prove that there is no presence of nutrients in the additives and preservatives which are commonly used in south Indian food industries. Keziah Prabhu | G.

Overview of the 2015 Annual Trends and Outlook Report (ATOR)
Namukolo Covic, Research Coordinator, Poverty, Health, and Nutrition Division (PHND), IFPRI, Ethiopia
The Ministry of Agro Industry and Food Security has launched a new Food Security Strategic Plan for 2013-2015. The plan aims to increase food production levels, achieve higher self-sufficiency in key commodities like milk and meat, introduce new crops, and support small farmers. The plan targets increasing total food crop production to 130,000 metric tons by 2015 from 115,000 currently. Milk production is targeted to increase to 14 million liters from 5.9 million currently, and meat production excluding poultry to increase to 2,300 metric tons from 1,300 currently. A budget of 1.086 billion rupees is required to implement schemes and incentives to achieve these objectives over the three year period.
ILRI's strategy focuses on using livestock research to improve food security and reduce poverty in Africa. It has three strategic objectives: 1) develop and promote sustainable, scalable practices that improve lives through livestock; 2) provide scientific evidence to persuade decision-makers to invest more in livestock; and 3) increase stakeholders' capacity to make better use of livestock science and investments. Key research areas include addressing the biomass crisis in intensifying smallholder systems, managing vulnerability and risk in drylands, improving food safety and addressing aflatoxins, advancing vaccine biosciences, and mobilizing biosciences to achieve food security in Africa. ILRI aims to prove livestock's potential, influence investment, and ensure sufficient capacity to effectively use
This document discusses innovations needed to reshape food systems in Asia for human and planetary health. It notes that while malnutrition has decreased, multiple burdens persist and goals are not on track. Comprehensive research and policy, institutional, and technological innovations are imperative. Reforms like subsidizing nutritious foods, social protection programs, reducing food loss, empowering women, and new crop varieties and production methods can help achieve nutrition and sustainability goals. Coordinated action across sectors with strong institutions is critical to accelerating progress.

Sustainable intensification of aquaculture - FAO consultation 27 nov2014Michael Phillips
Fish and food security: sustainable intensification of aquaculture
1. Fish is a key source of nutrition, especially in Asia, and demand is growing rapidly as populations and incomes increase.
2. Aquaculture production must more than double by 2050 to meet projected demand, but current practices risk significant environmental impacts if not intensified sustainably.
3. Sustainable intensification focuses on increasing production while reducing environmental impacts through improved technologies, management practices, regulations and inclusive development that benefits small-scale farmers and consumers.

This document discusses using short videos on social media to disseminate information about aquaculture production and value chains in Bangladesh. It describes the process of identifying technologies used by innovative farmers through surveys, filming the farmers demonstrating practices, editing the videos, adding subtitles and publishing them on Facebook and YouTube. The videos covered topics like the impacts of climate change, low-cost irrigation, sludge removal, integrated farming systems, and youth employment. The goal is to more actively promote new technologies that could diffuse more quickly if shared this way.

This document evaluates methods for detecting aquaculture waterbodies in southern Bangladesh using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and multispectral data. It finds that ensembles of SAR and multispectral data improved water detection rates over individual methods. Shape indices and SAR backscatter data helped differentiate waterbodies. However, the study was limited by 10m spatial resolution and vegetation interference, which affected segmentation of small or irregular waterbodies. Overall, the best methods achieved water detection rates up to 87% in districts, though prediction performance was lower due to segmentation limitations.
FIL Outreach workshop presentation 5: Fish trader and feed trader survey resultsWorldFish
The document summarizes the results of surveys of fish traders and feed traders in southwest Bangladesh. It finds that most fish markets are privately owned and located in urban areas, and have access to basic facilities like electricity, ice, and roads for transporting fish. The number of fish and feed traders has increased significantly in the last decade. Fish trading deals mostly in carp, while feed trading sells floating feed pellets. Both fish and feed trading were profitable businesses but were negatively impacted by reduced demand during COVID-19, with traders reporting lower sales and incomes.
FIL Outreach workshop presentation 3: Introduction to Survey MethodsWorldFish
- The document summarizes survey methods used in 2014 and 2020 to study the aquaculture value chain in Bangladesh.
- In 2014, a stacked value chain survey covered 20 districts and interviewed over 3,000 actors including 1,540 farmers, hatcheries, traders, and input providers using purposive stratified random sampling.
- In 2020, the survey focused on 7 districts in South and Southwestern Bangladesh, updating the 2014 panel and randomly selecting replacements. It developed censuses and randomly surveyed over 1,000 individuals across farm households, traders, and input traders.
This document summarizes the results of a survey of 721 aquatic farms in Bangladesh. It finds that farms produce a diverse mix of fish, shrimp, and prawn, with fish being the dominant crop. Integrated crop and aquatic farming is also common. The survey found high levels of disease, especially impacting shrimp farms. It also found that farms were highly exposed to extreme weather like flooding. COVID-19 negatively impacted production, though fish farms were less affected. Overall, the systems were found to be profitable and resilient despite challenges due to their diverse and adaptable nature.
The document summarizes results from a combined survey and remote sensing study of aquaculture farms in seven districts in Bangladesh. It finds that:
1) Machine learning estimates of total farm area were similar to government statistics, and calculated average production values, incomes, feed use, and jobs per hectare to estimate totals for the districts.
2) The study estimated a total value of aquaculture production of $1.45 billion USD and farm profits of $670 million USD across the seven districts.
3) The results reveal the potential of combining remote sensing, machine learning, and representative surveys to estimate a wide range of sector statistics, though some estimates differed from government reports.
This document provides an overview of the "Harnessing Machine Learning to Estimate Aquaculture Production and Value Chain Performance in Bangladesh" project. The project was funded by USAID Innovation Lab for Fish and implemented from April 2020 to September 2022 by Michigan State University, BAU, WorldFish, and CIAT. The project aimed to survey aquaculture farmers, fish traders, and suppliers; use machine learning on remote sensing images combined with survey data to estimate economic impacts; and build capacity through extension videos. Key components included surveying 1100 participants, using machine learning to analyze remote sensing data, and disseminating short extension videos on social media.

Indira awas yojana housing scheme renamed as PMAYnarinav14

This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.
RFP for Reno's Community Assistance CenterThis Is Reno

11. Food Policy: Production to comprehensive
approach
• Bangladesh has given emphasis on agricultural production
and availability toaddress food insecurityand hungersince
its independence.
• Thegoal of the first national food policy, which was adopted
in 1988, was toachieve food security by increasing food
production and attaining self-sufficiency
• National Food Policy 2006 was developed in a broader
perspectiveaccording to thecomprehensivedefinition of
food securityas adopted in the World Food Summit 1996
12. Bangladesh has been an early adopter of the comprehensive approach to food security and nutrition through the
formulation of the National Food Policy (2006) and its Plan of Action (2008)
To reduce undernourishment, stunting and underweight, food should be available, accessible and
complemented by nutrition interventions
The framework for food securityand nutrition interventions: the National Food Policy
and its Plan of Action
The National Food Policy Plan of Action consisting of 26 areas of
intervention and 314 actions provides a comprehensive long-term
(2008-2015) framework for:
- Coordinating government interventions
- Aligning development support to national prioritiesin line with the
Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness
- Regularly monitoring progress toward foo securi in lin with

12. Food safety and quality improvement
15. CIP2: Shift to nutrition sensitive food system to
overcomechallenges in food and agro-processing
• Existing food systems are too focused on food quantityand not enough on
quality.
• 30 to 35 % of fruits and vegetables wasted due to lack of processing and
preservation facilities
• Low level consumption of fruits and vegetables linked to inefficiencies in
value chains, increasing retail prices compared with farm gate prices, and
making prices morevolatile compared with rice price
Fish and poultry value chain is being improved by improving processing,
storage and transport system – e.g. considerable amount of value is added to
fish (products) through cleaning, sorting, icing, packaging, transportation
and storage.

• To ensure food securityand nutrition in Bangladesh, sustainable food
system approach need to be incorporated in the policy, programmes and
projects with strong monitoring framework
• Proper implementationof the CIP2 could help Bangladesh achieve SDG
goals as theapproach has moved from agricultural production to nutrition
sensitive food systems for betterdietsand health
• Collaboration between the Ministryof Agricultureand Ministryof Fisheries
and Livestock is essential
• An enabling policyenvironment and policy is needed forthe promotion of
public-private partnershipsand enhanced participationof privatesector
