dc.descriptionThe strict lockdown that occurred in Bangladesh during COVID-19 halted major industrial production chains, affecting all spheres of life and business. The pandemic devastated the country’s economy by displacing urban wage earners from their workplaces, who were forced to stay at home during lockdown. The hardest hit businesses were agricultural small- and medium-sized enterprises. Additionally, the extension services from different organizations of both public and private sectors to crop, fisheries and livestock were affected, impacting sectoral productions, productivity and market. The shortage of food, along with the slowdown of the national economy, affected the livelihoods of rural peoples, including women. Reductions in household income without social safety nets and external assistance, as well as insufficient nutrition and/or malnutrition, created instances of poverty. The increased frequency of extreme weather events in Bangladesh made agricultural production more challenging and unpredictable. There was a need to promote diversified and quality nutritional diets through programmes based on knowledge and approaches in diversified agricultural production.
