How does social inability to buy food also play a role in foo insecurity?

Answer 1

The SCs, STs and some sections of the OBCs, who have low land productivity are prone to food insecurity.

The people who are affected by natural disasters and have to migrate to other areas in search of work are also amongst the most food insecure people.

Malnutrition among women can even put the unborn baby at the risk of malnutrition.

A large proportion of pregnant and nursing mothers, and children under the age of S years are also among the food insecure population.
