Ensure adequate and stable supply of safe and nutritious food through integrated public food management and coordination with multisectoral policies and programmes

Reduce prevalence of food insecurity.

Reduce the prevalence of moderate or severe food insecurity in the population, based on the Food Insecurity Experience Scale (FIES).

The Ministry of Food , in collaboration with the Ministry of Fisheries and Livestock; Ministry of Agriculture; Ministry of Social Welfare; Ministry of Women and Children Affairs; Ministry of Health and Family Welfare; Ministry of Disaster Management and Relief; Ministry of Local Government, Rural Development and Cooperatives; Ministry of Industries; and development partners and civil society organisations, commits to ensuring access, availability, affordability and utilisation of safe and nutritious food to ensure food security as measured through the FIES. The commitment will thereby be to reduce moderate and severe food insecurity from 30.5% to 24.2% and 10.2% to 6%, respectively, by 2025. This will be done by ensuring adequate and stable supply of safe and nutritious food through integrated public food management and coordination with multisectoral policies and programmes. The total cost for this will be BDT 58,201 crore, which will be tracked through the multisectoral financial tracking mechanism.
