Abstract
This article clarifies the impact of household income, social capital as measured by the concept of network and the practice of home gardening on food security for the urban poor in Bangladesh. Cross-tabulation analysis, based on household data obtained from an intensive structured survey conducted by the International Food Policy Research Institute and CARE-Bangladesh, clearly suggests that slum households who earn higher income, who have dependable neighbor/relative networks, and who practice home gardening, are more likely to secure adequate nutritional intake.
