The Impending Food Crisis In India

India has been a worshiper of nature consisting of five elements – Prithvi (Earth), Aap (water), Tej (Light), Vayu (Wind) & Aakash (Space).

There was a balance of nature in ancient times, The Impending Food Crisis In India First due to industrialisation and the newer comforts by convenience, there was gradual build up to climate change.

Now it could be very well termed as a climate crisis.

Two studies have shown how this climate crisis affects India.

Study undertaken by CGIAR (Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research) estimates that India’s production is likely to decline by 9.9% for food crops,11.6% for cereals, 13.7% for fruits & vegetables, 7.2% for oilseeds and by 2.7% for pulses.

Roots & tubers production within the same period is projected to increase by 9.4% mainly due to favourable effects of climate change in this group of food crops.

The second study was conducted by IFPRI (International Food Policy Research Institute, South Asia , New Delhi).

This Study says that 9.6 crore Indians may go hungry by 2030 due to climate crisis.
