This open access book examines the interactions between India's
economic development, agricultural production, and nutrition
through the lens of a "Food Systems Approach (FSA)." The Indian
growth story is a paradoxical one. Despite economic progress over
the past two decades, regional inequality, food insecurity and
malnutrition problems persist. Simultaneously, recent trends in
obesity along with micro-nutrient deficiency portend to a future
public health crisis. This book explores various challenges and
opportunities to achieve a nutrition-secure future through
diversified production systems, improved health and hygiene
environment and greater individual capability to access a balanced
diet contributing to an increase in overall productivity. The
authors bring together the latest data and scientific evidence from
the country to map out the current state of food systems and
nutrition outcomes. They place India within the context of other
developing country experiences and highlight India's status as an
outlier in terms of the persistence of high levels of stunting
while following global trends in obesity. This book discusses the
policy and institutional interventions needed for promoting a
nutrition-sensitive food system and the multi-sectoral strategies
needed for simultaneously addressing the triple burden of
malnutrition in India.
