Along with issues of food production there are also clearly issues of access of the poor to food. In India, despite high GDP growth rates over the past decade or so, the record in reducing hunger is not so impressive. This brings to the fore the question of inclusive growth, particularly the inclusion of the most deprived sections of our society and regions of our country into benefiting from the growth process. Increased access to food comes forward as a basic component of inclusive growth. It is apt that at such a time the Institute for Human Development (IHD) and the UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) have produced this set of Rural Food Security Atlases for 8 States of India. Constructing a Food Security Index (FSI) the authors have tried to identify the districts that fare particularly badly and the factors behind the poor performance of these districts in each of the States. The identification of regions and social groups that are most food insecure should help to draw attention to the regions and social groups that require most attention in order to reduce food insecurity. At the same time, analysis of factors behind poor food security should help direct district-level interventions towards dealing with the factors that seem to be behind poor food security in these districts. The authors argue while paying attention to increasing food supply, it is critical to pay attention to improving the access of the poor to adequate food. They identify improvements in infrastructure and in the position of women as central to improving food security. I hope the Atlases will stimulate discussion among policy makers and social analysts on ways of designing district-level interventions that would enable India to reduce hunger as part of inclusive growth.
