Food security: The gaffes of the past and the options for the future
Keywords:
Food security, Food grains, Green revolution, IndiaAbstract
India has been in the throes of a lively debate on food security. There have
been calls for a 'second green revolution' in the country. However, there is a
need to take a look at the food security policies pursued so far to draw
appropriate lessons from their implementation. An examination of these
policies, including the 'First Green Revolution' shows that these policies
themselves have contributed in no small measure towards undermining the
food security of the country. There is a need to learn from this experience
rather than blindly extending them to other parts of the country.
