The 2026 Global Report on Food Crises (GRFC) carries an uncomfortable message for Bangladesh. The country is not facing famine, nor is it experiencing a catastrophic collapse of food systems. Yet it remains among the top 10 globally in terms of the absolute number of people facing acute food insecurity.

Around 1.6 crore people experienced crisis-level hunger or worse during the 2025 peak—roughly 17% of the analysed population. And this came in a relatively stable year, marked by fewer major disasters, easing food inflation, and stronger remittance inflows. With global instability persisting and projections suggesting a 2% decline in global grain output in 2026–27, the question becomes unavoidable: how resilient is Bangladesh's food system to future shocks?

The Bangladesh-India Ganges Water Treaty, which is expiring in December this year, needs to be 'reviewed and reformed comprehensively' before going for a renewed treaty by engaging economists, urban planners, sociologists and environmentalists in the planning, as Dhaka shares the 'risk' of not sharing it appropriately.

"MoFA (Ministry of Foreign Affairs) has to do a lot of homework, and data sharing is key. We need to keep in mind that the situation in 1996 and 2026 is not the same. This can't be seen only from engineering or diplomatic prisms; they should include economists, urban planners, and sociologists in the planning," international affairs expert Prof Shahab Enam Khan told UNB.
