Bangladesh is now world’s seventh populous country having 162.2 million people, but occupying only 3000th part of the world’s land space. At current rates of population growth, it is estimated that the total population could reach 195 million by about 2025. Whatever progress been made would be diffi cult to sustain in view of the growing pressure of population on highly scarce natural resources. Agriculture is the most signifi cant source of economic growth and has a fundamental role to play in the fi ght against poverty. From this perspective, the question of land ownership together with agrarian reforms is linked to increased agricultural productivity, employment opportunity and other related development-issues. The earning potential of most people is limited by their lack of skills, assets, and access to credit. Given its limited agricultural land, high population density, and frequent natural disasters, Bangladesh faces an enormous challenge in its efforts to reduce poverty. The only lasting way is to ensure sustainable economic growth, by implementing policies to promote fi nancial stability and the effi cient use of resources.
