The study has quantified the level of food intake, dietary diversity and nutritional status of each of the members of all the sample households. Fixed effect panel data regression analysis has been carried out to assess the contribution of relevant factors to diversity in crop production and dietary diversity. Nutritional status of the household members has been examined using the Body Mass Index (BMI). Determinants of nutritional status for individual household members have been identified through panel data analysis. Finally, the study has articulated implications of the research findings for public investment, agricultural policies and nutritional programmes in Bangladesh.
