孟加拉国的粮食系统目前产生了广泛的矛盾：国内粮食生产以前所未有的速度增长，但并非没有生态破坏的副作用。只要有足够的食物运送到消费者手中，供应链就能有效运作。然而，在所涉行为者之间可以发现明显的差异，从单一的占主导地位的市场制造商到几乎无法谋生的大量日工。即使向消费市场提供了足够的粮食，粮食安全仍远未实现。本章从可持续发展的角度，通过关注首都达卡，揭示了孟加拉国粮食系统功能失调的程度。以鱼类供应为例，讨论了当今大城市在粮食生产、供应和粮食安全方面面临的挑战。在第一部分，我将讨论国家鱼类生产的最新发展，并概述鲜鱼供应和价值链的结构。在第二部分，我专注于当地的达卡的粮食市场和辩论可用的数量和季节性波动的价格。在最后一部分，我将结合国家和地方的观点，为未来必要的重新调整提供建议。
The food system of Bangladesh is currently producing a wide range of contradictions: Domestic food production was increased at unprecedented rates, but not without ecologically damaging side effects. Supply chains work efficient insofar as enough food is transported to the consumers. Nevertheless, stark discrepancies can be detected between the involved actors, from single dominant market makers to the masses of day labourers who can hardly make a living. And even though enough amounts of food are supplied to consumer markets, food security is far from being attained. This chapter sheds light on the extent of dysfunctionalities of Bangladesh’s food system from a sustainability perspective by focussing on the capital city of Dhaka. The case of fish provision is taken to discuss present day challenges of the mega city in terms of food production, supply and food security. In the first part, I will discuss recent developments in national fish production and outline the structure of the supply and value chain for fresh fish. In the second part, I focus on the local food market of Dhaka and debate available amounts and seasonally fluctuating prices. In the last part, I will bring together the national and the local perspective to provide proposals for necessary future re-adjustments.
