Food security
The poorest section of the society remains food insecure all the times. People above poverty line might also feel food insecure in times of natural calamity like earthquake, drought, flood, tsunami, etc.
Natural calamities may lead to starvation. Starvation in longer run turns into famine.
A famine is characterised by wide spread deaths due to starvation and epidemics caused by forced use of contaminated water or decaying water or decaying food and loss of body resistance due to weakening from starvation.
Food-insecure in rural areas, the worst affected people are: landless and small farmers, traditional artisans (weavers, potters, blacksmith etc.) providers of services(e.g. barbers, washer men etc), petty self-employed workers and destitute. In the urban areas, persons employed in ill-paid occupations and casual labourers are food insecure.
The social composition also plays a role in food insecurity. The SCs, STs and some sections of OBC ( lower castes) who are landless or with low land productivity are prone to be food insecure.
Large proportion of pregnant and nursing mothers and children under the age of 5 years constitute an important segment of the food insecure population.
Hunger: Hunger has chronic and seasonal dimensions. Poor people suffer from chronic hunger and are food insecure all the times. Seasonal hunger is caused by the seasonal nature of agricultural activities in rural areas. In urban areas, seasonal hunger occurs because of the casual type of work. Thus, seasonal hunger exists when people are unable to get work for the whole year.
Need for self-sufficiency in food grains.
Our government since Independence realised the need to attain self-sufficiency in food grains because India experienced acute shortage of food grains after partition of the country in 1947.
The need for self-sufficiency arises from the following:
(a) to feed rising population
(b) to fight against droughts, floods, cyclone, etc.
(c) to reduce import of food grains
(d) to control prices of food grains.
