Food Security in India. Issues and Suggestions for Effectiveness

More about the book

Food security in India is critically challenged by various factors, including economic liberalization, the WTO's agricultural agreements, and climate change affecting production and prices. With over a third of the population living in poverty and high rates of child malnourishment, the coexistence of hunger and surplus food stocks raises concerns. Key initiatives like the targeted Public Distribution System, the "Right to Food" campaign, and the National Food Security Bill aim to address these issues, highlighting the urgency of achieving food security in the nation.
