No wp-1987-029, WIDER Working Paper Series from World Institute for Development Economic Research (UNU-WIDER)

Abstract: Our aim in this paper was to seek illumination on three questions pertaining to the food problems of Bangladesh: first, what are the processes perpetuating the food deprivation of great majority of the masses; secondly, has Bangladesh achieved over time a greater degree of immunity from the sudden failures of food entitlement leading to famines; and finally, what hopes do the current food policies hold out for the elimination of endemic hunger.
