Answer the following questions briefly state the effect of surplus food production in our development
Answers
Answer:
India is one of the largest producers of food. India is also one of the hungriest nations in the world. Irony seems to assume the role of truth in the land of the Indus. India shares a quarter of the global hunger burden despite the doubled increase in its food grain production. The Global Hunger Index (2018) ranks India at 103 out of 119 countries, while it is said to be one of the top 4 countries in the agricultural sector.
Further, 194.4 million people are reported to be undernourished although the food-waste amounts to 65 million tonne per annum. To combat these issues, the government has introduced important measures over the last 20 years. Some instances would be providing mid-day meals at schools, anganwadi systems to provide rations to pregnant and lactating mothers and subsidised grain for the BPL through a public distribution system.
