Abstract

Food security is defined as the availability of sufficient, safe, and nutritious food which is the fundamental aspect of human well-being. Food security may vary significantly in rural and urban areas based on differences in geographical location, socio-economic conditions, infrastructure, government policies, and market access. In Bangladesh, food insecurity has often more appearance in rural areas, primarily based on some factors like poverty, lack of access to markets, inadequate infrastructure, and reliance on subsistence agriculture. Food insecurity may be described by the household's main dwelling units, drinking water, source of income, activity status, and others. Urban areas generally have better access to food markets and services than rural areas. Also, urban residents might face challenges with high living costs, unemployment, high living costs, food deserts, and the prevalence of informal settlements. The study aims to make a comparative analysis of Food Security in Rural and Urban Areas.
