For spreading Nutriti<strong>on</strong> Sensitive Agriculture, a decentralised approach will be<br />
needed. The CSR, FSR and Coastal System Research programmes should be tailored<br />
to the prevailing agro-climatic, agro-ecological and socio-ec<strong>on</strong>omic c<strong>on</strong>diti<strong>on</strong>s. The<br />
n<strong>on</strong>-farm comp<strong>on</strong>ent of RSR should be based <strong>on</strong> a market-driven approach. Above all,<br />
women should play a lead role in all issues relating to balanced diet and good<br />
nutriti<strong>on</strong> since they are generally incharge of household food security. Also, they play<br />
a lead role in raising food crops, cultivating vegetables and attending to post-harvest<br />
technology.<br />

2014 has been declared as the Year of the Family Farmer by the United Nati<strong>on</strong>s.<br />
After careful preparati<strong>on</strong> during 2012-13, a global programme can be launched during<br />
2014 <strong>on</strong> spreading the message and methods of Nutriti<strong>on</strong> Sensitive Agriculture. All<br />
over the world, Farmers’ Councils for Nutriti<strong>on</strong> Security can be organised. Such<br />
Councils with the help of Community Hunger Fighters can become the flagship for a<br />
Nutriti<strong>on</strong> Secure World.<br />
