Abstract

In this chapter, we sum up policy recommendations required for creating robust food systems and for moving the country towards a nutrition secure future. In our food systems approach, policy recommendations made are multi-sectoral with an emphasis on (a) improving agricultural productivity with a view to increasing viability of smallholder agricultural systems; (b) increasing economic growth to ensure greater structural transformation and regional prosperity; and (c) linking agriculture and nutrition to ensure health and welfare growth go hand in hand. This approach takes into account the need to integrate efforts to increase rural prosperity, food production, nutrient availability, human capital, urban food security and employment with efforts towards climate change mitigation & adaptation. Such initiatives will be key to eliminate both regional and inter-personal inequality by 2050.
