Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Provides an exhaustive inquiry of Bangladesh's seasonal hunger with special reference to the north west region. The seasonality of poverty and food deprivation is a common feature of rural livelihood but it is more marked in the north-west region of Bangladesh. The book also presents an evaluation of several policy interventions launched recently in mitigating seasonality, which provide a test case of what works and what does not in combating seasonal hunger.
