WORLD FOOD DAY-2019

Govt commits to build hunger-free country

Government officials and development activists at a post-rally discussion here yesterday unanimously said the present government under the dynamic leadership of Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has

been working relentlessly to build a hunger and poverty-free Bangladesh. They identically mentioned that the government has adopted a holistic approach so that all people including the poor and marginal ones can get access to food.

District Administration organised the discussion at its office premises in association with Department of Food and Department of Agriculture Extension (DAE) to mark the World Food Day-2019. “Our Actions are our Future. Healthy Diets for A Zero Hunger World” was the main theme of the day.

The meeting was addressed, among others, by Deputy Commissioner Hamidul Haque, Deputy Director of DAE Shamsul Haque, District Controller of Foods Nazmul Haque Bhuiyan and District Fisheries Officer Alok Kumar Shaha with Additional Deputy Commissioner (General) Shariful Haque in the chair. The discussants said protecting legitimate rights of the farmers in general along with their food security is very important for encouraging them to increase agricultural productions. Farmers deserve the rights of getting all requisite privileges. So, there is no alternative to protect their interests as a whole.

They, however, mentioned that the present government is very much positive towards protecting the legitimate rights of the farmers. Lauding their contribution to the farm production, they urged the farmers to avail the incentives and other opportunities being provided by the government. Taking part in the discussion, some of the attending development activists opined that in the wake of abnormal declining of natural resources like native crop seeds, fish and birds species and other wildlife, conservation of natural resources has become indispensable for facing the adverse impacts of climate change.

They viewed that many native crops and vegetable varieties are gradually declining. Many native fish species, particularly the small indigenous ones are on the verge of extinction due to various reasons.
