Financial Express published an editorial stating that the impact of the pandemic on the ‘food insecurity situation’ has been more pronounced among the low-income and vulnerable segments of society than before. a study done by IFPRI during the September-October period of 2021 has come up with interesting results. The study demonstrated the resilience with which the aforementioned segment of the population faced the situation during the early stage of the pandemic’s onslaught. The findings, for example, show that the ‘moderate or severe food insecurity situation’ in Bangladesh returned to the pre-pandemic level by January of this year.
