The University of Dhaka actively facilitates the transfer of knowledge, skills, and technology in food security, sustainable agriculture, and aquaculture to local farmers and food producers. This is achieved through the combined efforts of multiple academic units, including the Institute of Nutrition and Food Science, Institute of Health Economics, Departments of Oceanography, Soil, Water and Environment, Fisheries, Botany, and Zoology.

These units regularly organise seminars, workshops, and training programmes aimed at enhancing the capacity of local agricultural and aquaculture communities. Faculty members of the university also serve as resource persons, providing specialised training and advisory services to farmers and local producers in various regions.

In addition to formal programmes, research activities undertaken by faculty members often actively involve local farmers and food producers, ensuring practical application of scientific knowledge and fostering sustainable practices. For example, experimental plots, demonstration farms, and aquaculture projects provide hands-on learning opportunities, allowing farmers to adopt improved cultivation techniques, water management strategies, and environmentally sustainable practices.

Through these multidimensional efforts, the University of Dhaka ensures that knowledge and technical expertise in food security are effectively disseminated to local communities, contributing to increased productivity, sustainable food systems, and the overall reduction of hunger.
