Abstract

Despite India’s economic progress over the past two decades, regional inequality, food insecurity and malnutrition problems persist. Simultaneously, trends in overweight and obesity, along with micronutrient deficiency, portend a future public health crisis. In this book, we examine the interactions between India’s economic development, agricultural production and nutrition through the lens of a “food systems approach (FSA)”. We explore various challenges and opportunities to achieve a nutrition secure future. We bring together the latest data available on development processes in India to (1) highlight the nature of food system challenges, (2) identify trends and threats to progress, (3) emphasize policy and institutional interventions needed to address challenges and (4) set an agenda interlinking agricultural development, health and nutrition and economic development.
