If negative impacts on the economy of Bangladesh happens, the agriculture sector may
also be adversely affected and it finally affect our food security.
The fertility of the land is expected to decline and one percent of crop GDP will be lost
every year. Sustainable land management is a major challenge for now and also in the
future
Key challenges to agricultural growth in the country include water, resources, land area
constraints, soil degradation and, climate change rapidly growing, increasingly urbanized
and, more affluent population with changing tastes. These challenges will require a new
idea of how domestic food security goals can be met while sustaining an increasingly
fragile environment and a large population dependent on agriculture for livelihoods.
Waste supervision rising crisis almost all municipal areas. The pace of urbanization, rural-
urban migration, changing consumption outline and, high population growth rate growing
quickly. As a result, Leaching (Polluting Ground& Surface Water), increasing Methane
gas, Green House gas in the air and Vermin (Spreading more than 40 Diseases). Finally-
Polluting air, water, soil and, we will lose sustainability that impacts on Food Security
Conclusion
Heavy metal contamination, pesticide contamination of groundwater sources is
the most prospective menace for the people of Bangladesh. Among the heavy
metals, Arsenic is found in groundwater at an alarming rate all over the country.
A high level of iron, chromium, nickel, and lead is also worrying. Lack of proper
monitoring, laws implementation, adequate human resources as well as lack of
modern treatment plants and water supply systems, and poor awareness and
education about water use and safety are the main prompt of groundwater
pollution in Bangladesh.
The challenge of feeding a growing population is framed in terms of the need to
increase food production 70% more by 2050. Sustainable use of land, water,
energy is requiring because those will become scarcer in the future for food
safety in Bangladesh. We need some more scientific research to increase
investment to sustain productivity growth in technology, infrastructure and
institutions, environmental services and, sustainable resource management.
