Abstract
Globally, food security problem is identified that there is enough food in the world, but the distribution is deficient. Food security is not only about having enough production; it is also about having an equal chance of access to food for all. The problem is similar in case of Bangladesh. Food security is hindered by various climatic and anthropogenic causes. Taking account these issues, this chapter attempts to incorporate climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction in the field of food security. It further gives its focus on sustainable food security; therefore, it describes the concept, strategies and priority action areas of sustainable food security. In conclusion, it provides an integrated approach to sustain food security that not only secure the food for populations but also build resilience towards disaster and climate change risk.
