Dhaka, Oct 15 (bdnews24.com)—President Zillur Rahman, on the eve of World Food Day on Friday, has said proper measures must be taken to ensure food security in a changing climate.
In his message on Thursday, Rahman said, "I believe sufficient research and adequate technological innovation and usage can play an important role to produce more food."
Prime minister Sheikh Hasina said, "Agriculture is the most affected and vulnerable sector due to climate change. It is absolutely needed to ensure food security by fighting the situation."
"Bangladesh achieved self-dependency during the previous Awami League government in 1996-2001. But the succeeding government could not carry the success."
The incumbent government is pledged to guarantee food security for all being self-dependent again, the prime minister added. |
