      abstract = {Dimensions of food security at household level are  availability of adequate food and, access to and   utilization of food. The present study was conducted to  assess the dimensions of food security for farm households  under different land use patterns in Bangladesh. Fourteen  land use patterns which are largely practiced by the  farmers were selected for the present study. In total, 730  farm households were selected from 50 villages of 18  Upazilas under 8 districts of Bangladesh. Four categories  of farmers such as marginal, small, medium and large  farmers who were largely involved in the present land use  patterns were selected for the present study. The data and  information so collected were converted into descriptive  statistics such as arithmetic means, percentages and ratio.  Regarding food availability all categories of farmers under  the selected land use patterns were more or less  self-sufficient in cereals, but they had tremendous  shortages in other crops like potato, vegetables, pulses,  oilseeds (mustard) and fish. The present study also  assessed per capita food intake and nutritional status of  different categories of farm households. The food  consumption for overall land use patterns was i observed to  be 1182 grams. Per capita calorie intake was relatively  higher (2620-2645 kcal) for the farm households practicing  alternate shrimp (golda) and rice farming, alternate rice  and wheat production and alternate rice and maize  production. Considering all selected land use patterns, per  capita per day protein intake was 63.84 grams which was  slightly higher than the national average (62.52).},
