Description
Summary:"Population explosions have always pushed India into many deep-rooted socio-economic bottlenecks. India is home to one third of the globe's poverty-ridden and hunger-prone population, despite the undoubted availability of and access to food grains. This study explores the causes of and solutions to the prevalence of hunger and malnutrition at the grassroots level. Although India's spending on protecting its boundaries has increased massively, there does not seem to have been as much emphasis on protecting its citizens.There can be no doubt that food security involves the simultaneous growth in demand and supply of food grains. As such, the book analyses the supply-side background behind the accomplishment of food security. It explores the nature, prospects and challenges ahead for Indian agriculture. Food grain production can be enhanced on a par with increasing demand only when hurdles confronting agriculture are addressed."
