This book discusses the policy and institutional interventions needed for promoting a nutrition-sensitive Food system and the multi-sectoral strategies needed for simultaneously addressing the triple burden of malnutrition in India.
They place India within the context of other developing country experiences and highlight India\'s status as an outlier in terms of the persistence of high levels of stunting while following global trends in obesity.
The authors bring together the latest data and scientific evidence from the country to map out the current state of Food Systems and nutrition outcomes.
This book explores various challenges and opportunities to achieve a nutrition-secure future through diversified production systems, improved health and hygiene environment and greater individual capability to access a balanced diet contributing to an increase in overall productivity.
Simultaneously, recent trends in obesity along with micro-nutrient deficiency portend to a future public health crisis.
Despite economic progress over the past two decades, regional inequality, Food insecurity and malnutrition problems persist.
