Food Security in Chhattisgarh & Future Challenges

Abstract

The concept of Food security is not new. To overcome poverty, poor crop, climatic changes & decreasing natural resources, the concept of food security was started all over the world to make every people ableto obtain enough, safe, nutritious, and culturally appropriate food for a healthy and productive life. Food security is not only concerned with producing enough staple food but it also ensures the functioning of the whole food value chain, including processing, storage, distribution, marketing, consumption and waste management. The food security act started in Chhattisgarh as a hunger support in the life of some vulnerable tribal groups is going to produce great challenges for survival of future generations. The present study is an attempt to examine whether the Food security, is a solution to free humanity from the scourge of hunger or this could leave future generations vulnerable to greater food insecurity.
