Specifically, this paper focuses on the progress in supply side of food in terms of availability at the national level and how far has Bangladesh progressed in attaining access to food and nutrition requirements at the household level. The paper argues in favor of strengthening the role of various social safety net programs, increasing subsidy in agriculture sector and enhancing purchasing power of the people food security production and availability of food grains.
