Description
This comprehensive work by Harpreet Kaur Narang investigates the critical issue of food insecurity in India’s agricultural heartland, revealing the complex socioeconomic factors that perpetuate hunger despite abundant food production. The author examines the structural inequalities, policy failures, and institutional gaps that prevent equitable food distribution among rural populations.
Through detailed research and case studies, the book explores how climate variability, market volatility, and inadequate social safety nets contribute to persistent food insecurity. Narang addresses the paradox of India being a major food producer while millions face malnutrition and hunger. The work provides valuable insights into agricultural practices, rural livelihoods, and the effectiveness of current intervention programs.
Essential reading for policymakers, researchers, and anyone interested in understanding agricultural economics and food security in South Asia.
