545 acres of arable land lost a day
Speakers at a view exchange meeting yesterday said that within 2088 there would be no cultivable land in Bangladesh if the present rate of conversion of farmlands into non-cultivable ones remains so. They urged the policymakers to adopt a master plan for using the land of the country for cultivation to achieve food security. The view exchange meeting on 'Recovering farm land, stopping non-farming use of farmlands and national food security' was organised by Forward Party at the Jatiya Press Club in the city.
