Sustaining Food and Nutritional Security in India: An Assessment of Agri-Food Systems and Scoping for Future
Praduman Kumar
Sustaining Food and Nutritional Security in India: An Assessment of Agri-Food Systems and Scoping for Future - Indian Journal of Agricultural Economics - 1-45
I feel privileged to deliver the Presidential address in the 83rd annual conference of the Indian Society of Agricultural Economics. I thank the office bearers and members of the Association for giving me the honour. Food and nutrition security has been a very sensitive issue in India as it has the largest concentration of poor in the world. Around half of India’s population is covered by one or the other scheme in which subsidized staple food is made available to the people, but the country still lags much behind on nutrition security front. For this reason, the theme chosen for my presidential address is ‘Sustaining Food and Nutritional Security in India: An Assessment of Agri-food Systems and Scoping for Future’.
