Coutts argue that Unfortunately, it can non continue its achievements because of many reasons such as drought while the Banglades h food product depends on water system to fetch up and in the other periods there was floodwaters which make Bangladesh lose most of its products8(Coutts, 2004). Moreover, there is increase in food prices and some kinds of food increased by more than 20% in the rice price and the veget subjects selling prices increase, too (Coutts, 2004). 8and that number keep growing up until it became 50 % in 200811.As a reply of that the number of employee is decrease and many people are suffering from malnutrition8(Coutts, 2004).the hunger project states that it has high number of people living there and the number of population is increased and it consider as the second high population in the world with 150 million people live there 13. In addition ,for about e actually fifty years the number of rats in Bangladesh increased sharply and that effect the agriculture area which leads it to decease because the crops are damaged by rats which ate 90% of harvest that leads about 130,000 people to su ffering from food shortage .all of reasons above cause lack of food in Bangladesh and food insecurity 10and number of people who live under the poor line is about half of its population 13.(n.d)Dhulme Points out that For the above problem it spouse to have some solutions to solve them and that what is happened in Bangladesh12.
