- Bangladesh is a highly dense populated developing country containing with limited food production and inadequate facilities for proper food handling, transportation, storage, safety aspect, quality control and risk analysis which is public health concern. Post-harvest handling, nutrition and health, chemical-physical and microbiological food hazard/contaminants, value-chain system, safety and quality aspect of food are public health concern in Bangladesh. Thus with GHI, I could contribute in publishing the book chapter magazine, journals or other related documents; Participate and share knowledge and information in ambassador’s meeting; Actively participate in different working group (WG) activities; Updating the food national/regional food safety laws and legislation.
